Why “atheocracy” is a great word
ATHEOCRACY — [Noun] A state or system of government that officially promotes atheism or the absence of religion as a matter of public policy. From Greek a- ("without, not") + theo- ("god") + -cracy ("rule, government"). Unlike a theocracy (which rules by divine mandate) or secularism (which seeks neutrality), an atheocracy actively enforces a worldview devoid of the divine. It is the state-issued textbook that begins with a chapter on scientific materialism, the public square scrubbed clean of any shrine or spire, and the civic architecture designed to hum with no echo of a hymn—a monument not to a different faith, but to the deliberate silencing of faith itself.
Etymology
