Hating faith or religion. Back formation from homophobic, used by anti-religious people to describe those who oppose homosexuality or the objectives of those who advocate for homosexual rights. Faithphobes are people who criticize or attack people of faith (religious people) for not accepting homosexuality or homosexual rights specifically but can be extended to anyone who is against faith.

A buzz word being used to refer to creators and influencers forming or encouraging unhealthy relationships with their fans. Usually used in the context of young audiences feeling they have a relationship with the influencer due to the huge amount of the influencer’s content they consume. The influencer in question, however, is unaware of the fan’s existence other than the general knowledge of having fans. Common examples include Dream and his stans. These relationships are exacerbated by the influencers confirming they have more than a creator-to-viewer relationship.

The word is circulating due to various YouTube essays about the phenomenon using the word, and therefore people who enjoy complaining about influencers repeating what they heard in the video in any comments section they can find.

Older form of faithphobic, meaning hating religion.
