A small religious-priming prejudice effect can still matter cumulatively when widespread.
Evidence
The overall effect of religious priming was significant but small in magnitude (r = .06, p < .001). Nevertheless, as Funder and Ozer (2019) note, even small effects can have a big impact when widespread or over long periods of time. — Annetta Snell and Miron Zuckerman and Bonnie M.
