Misotheia
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
(μισέω ,'to hate, and θεός, God) is hatred of God and everything divine — hatred of truth, wisdom, virtue, and reason. In classic Greek we only find μισόθεος, hating the gods, godless (AEsch. Ag. 1090). Sometimes the word is changed to θεομίσης, a person hating the gods, and to θεομίσητος , a person hated by the gods. The misotheist is akin to the misologist. (See MISOLOGY).
