Organized Christian religions sometimes do this, although they would not find grounds to do so in the teachings of Christ. Judaism and Islam are profoundly supremacist religions (even worse with the atheistic Judaism). The Sermon on the Mount and the Golden Rule show how a true Christian should respond to others.
Religions which impose the necessity of control or domination of others should be considered ideologies, not true religion--at least in my mind's eye.
Quoting: MarPep I might be mistaken, but one of the very basic principles of christianity is to spread the word so everyone would know Christ. That only in Christ can mankind be good. This also sounds supremacist to me. Spreading "the Word" of Truth so that others may profit in their lives is essentially the opposite of the supremacism of Judaism and Islam. At least until you get to the part where you insist that your word is the only true word and that there are no other ways to that truth. That's sounds pretty darn supremacist right there. Confidence in sharing one's idea of Truth is not the same as the physicial and monetary domination by/of Judaism and Islam. Catholicism has practiced domination of Protestants and non-catholic Christians, as well as Jewish--and did fight battles with militant Islam for control of land. But Catholicism is different than Christianity by many standards.
