Theomachist
Theomachist is a term used to refer to an individual who resists God or the divine will.[1] The term comes from the Greek words theos, meaning God and machē, meaning battle.[2] Karl Marx was considered by many to be a theomachist.[3] The atheists who established the Cult of Reason in Revolutionary France have also been described with this term.[4]
