Agapotheist

Agapotheist is a noun meaning a God-believer whose faith is defined by agape: self-giving, altruistic love. It is proposed as a clearer alternative to religious labels that can be used by power-seeking, nationalist, or domination-based movements.

The word is built from agapo-, meaning self-giving love, and theist, meaning a believer in God.

Simple definition:

Agapotheist = a theistic God and worshipper religion defined by self-giving love.

Example 1:
“I am an Agapotheist: I believe in God and seek to live by self-giving love.”

Example 2:
“An Agapotheist rejects cruel, ego-driven religion and follows a faith ordered by love, humility, and communion.”

Example 3:
“Christian nationalism may use the word Christian, but Agapotheism emphasizes altruistic love rather than domination or tribal power.”

Example 4:
“She calls herself an Agapotheist because her belief in Deus is rooted in agape, not religious status or political identity.”
