Did I invent this word?

Question

This word doesn't show up in the dictionary or spell check. I think I just invented a word to describe my philosophy.

anti-religionist

It means: One who opposes all religion.

Answer 1

Antireligion is opposition to all religions. People who are antireligious may see religions as dangerous, destructive, or foolish, though, like irreligious people in general, they may not be completely secular or lacking in spirituality, though a majority are.

In some cases antireligion is based on rational grounds, such as arguments against the validity, usefulness, or ethicality of religion, while in other cases it involves an irrational fear or hatred of religion, sometimes resulting from generalizing complaints about a single religion to target all religions. Antireligious activity has ranged from merely criticizing and arguing against religion, to actively persecuting religious groups or outlawing religious practice.

anti-religionist is some one who is antireligious

Answer 2

No after looking the around a bit the word religionist comes up quite a lot and anti has been around for a long long time.
As a matter of fact the two have been put together before.

Sorry, Shakespeare still holds true and there is nothing new under the sun.

Answer 3

try anticlericalism. I think this is the correct word for what you mean.
It is different than atheism, because atheism means not believing there is a god, whereas anticlericalism is being against the organised religion.

Answer 4

Is it possible for one to accurately describe himself as an atheist? A true atheist has no religious view or belief, but if you claim to be an Atheist, then you are declaring your religion, right?

Answer 5

Not really.

religionist seems to be a word:

Anti- just means the opposite.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8
