A zealous, performative form of atheism that structurally mirrors the evangelical movements it claims to oppose. It’s defined less by disbelief and more by militant proselytizing, a sense of besieged righteousness, and rituals of public debunking. It forms a core part of the believer’s identity, complete with in-group heroes (Dawkins, Hitchens) and a mandate to aggressively “save” others from religion.
Atheistic Neopentecostalism Example: A person who goes to online prayer groups not to discuss, but to post screeds about “sky daddy” and “fairy tales,” deriving a sense of moral superiority and communal purpose from these raids. Their identity is built on oppositional evangelism, making them the mirror image of the missionaries they despise.

Get the Atheistic Neopentecostalism mug.Goes beyond atheism into a dogmatic mission to actively eradicate religious belief from society, viewing it as a malicious virus. Adherents see faith not just as incorrect, but as an intrinsic evil that must be purged through aggressive activism, legislation, and social shaming. It’s a crusade against crusades.
Antitheistic Neopentecostalism Example: A lobbyist who campaigns not for secular government (separation of church and state), but for laws that would ban the wearing of visible religious symbols in all public spaces and strip religious organizations of all tax status, aiming to culturally and legally stamp out religious practice entirely.

Get the Antitheistic Neopentecostalism mug.The transformation of academia into a dogmatic belief system where specific theories (e.g., critical theories, neoliberal economics) become unquestionable doctrines. Adherence is a litmus test for legitimacy, dissenters are excommunicated (denied publication, tenure), and complex scholarship is reduced to catechisms and purity tests.
Academic Neopentecostalism Example: In certain humanities departments, deviating from a specific, prescribed theoretical framework in your analysis is not seen as a scholarly disagreement, but as an ethical failure. Job candidates are grilled on their doctrinal commitment to the theory, not their original thought, creating an environment of enforced orthodoxy.

Get the Carl Avlund Nepper-Christensen mug.Alberto had been going at it for two days straight. He came home to get a quick bite before he met his friends before his gig on the night shift. As he was savoring the mac n cheese bites on his sofa he closed his eyes and awoke almost two hours later to a flurry of texts and missed calls. He giggled to himself in a restful manner, "well, that nappened..."
