Religiphobic
A person who has developed a specific fear of all religions and religious people persuant to a severe negative experience involving religion, a person of religious faith or the viewing of trauma created by religious fundamentalists, such as but not limited to: " homocide bombings" IED attacks, and or watching too  much fundamentalist media brain washing of any type or being exposed to overtly fundamentalist religious programming at an early age; including cult activity, extreme religious attendance at any religious institution to the exclusion of being allowed to interact with any one outside of the faith.  Religiphobia develops in adulthood as a reactionar response or defense mechanism to ward off interaction with people who caused initial negative experience. Religiphobia leads to general feelings of meaninglessness in the world, a sense that god does not exist and perpetual avoidance of religious related people, practices and places. Religiphobia is not diagnosed if the expression of traumatic response is better described by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Acute Stress Disorder, or Simple Phobia.

This diagnosis is not real, and is not currently in the DSM IV- TR, but perhaps should be a consideration for future versions.
