Antichristianism

/ˌæntiˈkrɪstʃəˌnɪzəm/ noun

Definition

The system of beliefs, ideology, or movement that opposes Christianity or Christian values and principles.

Etymology

From antichristian + -ism (a system of belief). This term emerged to describe organized opposition to Christian doctrine and influence, particularly from Enlightenment philosophers.

Kelly Says

Antichristianism as an organized ideology is actually quite rare historically—most 'antichristian' movements were really about opposing institutional power rather than Christian faith itself.
