Why “misotheist” is a great word
One who hates God or gods; of or relating to such hatred. From the Greek μῖσος (misos, 'hatred') and θεός (theos, 'god'), via the Greek adjective μισόθεος (misotheos, 'god-hating') and the English suffix -ist. Unlike an atheist, who denies a god's existence, or an antitheist, who opposes the principle of theism, the misotheist affirms the deity only to revile it. It is Job railing against his creator from the dung-heap, the blistering curse hurled at a silent sky, and the bitter, intimate resentment of a subject who believes itself known by a sovereign it deems unworthy—a rebellion not against belief, but against a beloved tyrant.
