/ˈfeɪθ-ɪst/

1. A person who relies on faith-based reasoning to assert authority or superiority, often in a dismissive, coercive, or absolutist manner.

May exhibit certainty-as-virtue and humility-as-weakness behaviors.

Often enters conversations with "I believe..." followed by universal claims or judgments.
