pls no

Can we all agree to stop using the suffix -phobia to describe bigotry? It means irrational fear, not irrational hatred. Arachnophobia means you're scared of spiders, not that you hate them. Theophobia would mean you're afraid of religion, not that you hate it.

If there must be a term for it, I suggest antitheism, because anti- means against or in opposition to. Thus antitheism means a view that is against or in opposition to theism, an antitheist would be a person who holds such views. There, an unambiguous and etymologically sound term to describe general anti-religious bigotry. Also bonus points for possible word play due to how close it is to antithesis and how close it is to the word atheism, which lots of religious people treat as antitheism already so it's ready to go rhetoric too. Please use it in lieu of misleading phobia terms, thank you.
