How Should We Call Them?
It would be nice to have a name, monicker, appellation, designation for those who make others believe for their own profit or advantage. I know I know, priests, pastors, shamans, frauds, thiefs, impostors, etc...
I'm talking about a more generic, punchy, memorable name.
Any ideas?

Beliephants
Propheteers?
Pharisites?
Evangeliars?
Easy Pray Hunters?
Flock Fleecers?
I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
Nordman:
- EVANGELIARS is great!
Flock Fleecers I like, makes me think of:
- FLOCKERS
Since I started that thread and people seem to have interesting ideas, I'll compile a list. It would be nice if someone could make that list posting "sticky" whithin the thread, don't know if it is possible.

- THE PREDATORI
- THE PREDATUR
Not a brilliant coinage but it sounds funny (at least to a French ear):
- THE RAPINANTES
Of course, closer to home:
- DEPREDADORES

I'm just not very creative so I just refer to them as:
fucking fundamentalist bastards!!!!!
My vote's on Propheteers.
Atheism isn't a lot like religion at all. Unless by "religion" you mean "not religion". --Ciarin

I changed the spelling to BELIEFANT, I don't know why I put the PH in there, it must be a French thing....

Elephant is the english spelling too.
Yes, I know.
It's just that the component BELIEF of the nickname did not come out unless you pronounced it out loud...
My son, who studies linguistic, suggested:
Kerdopseudologist ? (kerdaino - to make profit, pseudomai - to lie)
How obscure can you get
?!

Either way works. The idea came from Master of Puppets, by Metallica. Awesome song. Shame to apply it to a bunch of assholes. But it is just too fitting.
Enlightened Atheist, Gaming God.
It should sound ominous. What they are doing is sinister and should be considered a crime against humanity.
That said, I'm going to go with Propheteer, though I think both are perfect descriptions.
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.
The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

It is a strong nickname.
And it should be considered a crime agaisnt humanity.
How about - THE OMNIPOTENT ?
