A person who opposes ceremonies and formal rituals, or who advocates for simplicity and directness instead of elaborate ceremonial practices.
Anticeremonial + -ist (one who practices or advocates). The suffix -ist creates an agent noun for someone who holds or promotes a particular belief. This term identifies ideological practitioners of anticeremonial philosophy.
The earliest anticeremonialists were religious dissidents who literally walked out of elaborate church services and started meeting in barns—their very existence was an act of rebellion against 500 years of tradition.
