Anti-Clericalism 

Anti-Clericalism is defined by opposing clericals and the societal influence of organized religion in both governmental and public affairs. This differs from being anti-religious since you can just oppose organized religion but not religious practices themselves, and not all anti-clericals are atheists.
Anti-clericalism has been practiced by both religious people and anti-religious people, such as during the protestant reformation during Europe or in state atheist countries like the USSR.

clerkicalism 

Big enterprises are dominated by all kinds of clerks around. Especially, if one tries to change something or even to innovate, "clerks" stick to their procedures, programmes, rules, processes, and methods. In this this sense, clerks are the enemies of change and innovation. This whole picture is expressed be "clerkicalism", the "empire of clerks".
The biggest issue of innovation in a large organization is clerkicalism.

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
