antireligious

/ˌæntɪɹᵻlˈɪdʒəs/ adj

Opposed to religion.

Word Origin Antireligious uses Greek 'anti-' 'against' with religious, which comes from Latin 'religio' 'reverence, obligation.' Some think 'religio' is from 'religare' 'to bind back' — so religion is what binds you to the divine. Antireligious means opposing that binding. The same root gives us rely, oblige, and ligament (something that binds).
