if both are punished with the same sentence then there is a clear message that religious discrimination is OK.

Discrimination isn't a crime. Having a set of values that involves disassociating, discluding, distrusting, or disliking someone based on any elements of their being is fine. For instance, parse the following two sentences...
I hate muslims.
I hate people who beat their wives.
Are either acceptable, and why?
