One who worships the state. This person may not be fully aware that they see the state as their God, but in every action they take they perform the same rituals as religious organizations. From mindlessly chanting(the pledge of allegiance) to the attribution of supernatural phenomena(taking money from some people to give it to others will somehow make us all richer) and even direct contradictions in their own personal beliefs(theft is wrong if done by an individual, but is somehow okay if done by the state through taxes).
Statheist: Taxation isn't theft, it's the price we pay for civilization.
Non-statheist: If your definition of civilization includes rampant theft, I want no part of it.

One who rejects religion as irrational but who advocates the existence of the state, usually as a desperate compensation for the comfort that religion brings. The term is most often used by anarchist-atheists to demonstrate to the statheist that the logic they use to justify the state is faulty even though they had sufficient logic to reject religion, implying that they are reproducing the same errors in thinking that they profess to despise in religious people.

Derogatory term made up by anarchists/libertarians to make ad hominem attacks against atheists they disagree with.
You're just a statheist so I don't have to listen to anything you have to say and can ignore any facts you present.
