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".

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.
