The two examples you gave aren't (to me) examples that are considered P.C.

"people put down muslims all the time, they're all violent, christian killing zealots you know."

1) I don't think it's P.C. (I do it, but I don't think most others consider it P.C.)
2) If people do it, then, they usually do it because their Prophet encouraged beating women, or encouraged killing non-believers (like wanting to kick the Jews into the Sea.)

"mitt romney was dismissed as being a viable candidate because he's a mormon-of course, that's not a 'real' religion."

1) Again, I don't think this type of statement is considered P.C. by most others.
2) I think they are more apt to be disliked for trying to mess with the Politics in states they aren't living in (anti-Gay Marriage Amendment etc.,) or for laws like the ones they have about alcohol purchases. Maybe in the South, a lot of people think it's a cult religion.
i just disagree that it's only catholics who get criticized. and i do agree that it's members of the church who partake in the criticizing. there are high profile democrats who probably add to the mix, since they are very vocal about not agreeing with their churches teachings.
