Etymology

From 'creedal' or 'creedalism' plus '-ist', meaning a person who practices or believes in something (like 'artist', 'realist').

Kelly Says

The '-ist' suffix identifies people by their beliefs or practices—a creedalist is someone so committed to religious systems that it defines who they are!
