Definition: The word "antiphoton" comes from Greek, but its meaning has changed significantly over centuries. In Christianity, it means a person who does not believe in Jesus Christ, a term often used by Christians to describe others outside their own faith community. Antiphophiles are generally referred to as 'outsiders.' However, the word is also used in Jewish and Muslim contexts to refer to people who do not conform with mainstream religious practices or beliefs. The word has been used figuratively in many Bible verses, including 2 Corinthians 11:25 where Paul refers to those outside of Christ as "antichrists." In this context, the 'anticathode' is a person who does not believe in Jesus. This term was popularized in Christian literature and later influenced other secular usage in the West. It's important to note that these terms do not refer to a literal negative attitude towards God or Christianity; rather, they imply someone does not align with what is generally believed or accepted as the core teachings of their faith. The 'anticathode' could be used metaphorically in modern times when many people outside of mainstream religious groups consider themselves more 'out there' than those within.
