The term "Christianophobia" refers to hysterical and irrational fear or hatred of Christians which is present in many Muslim countries, Hindu majority nation like India, and often in the Western world among liberals and leftists. "Christanophobia" is considered an analogy of "Anti-Semitism" or another neologism "Islamophobia".
Anti-Christian sentiment is generally used for describing discrimination against Christians, but this term has been used in various sources including United Nations and by several academics.[1][2][3][4] United Nations described it as "deep concern the increase in anti-Semitism, Christianophobia and Islamophobia in various parts of the world".[4] Christianophobia results in discrimination against Christians, and often violence against Christian community by other religious groups.[1] Approximately 52% of the population in Turkey and 73% of the population in Morocco expressed an antipathy towards Christianity.[3]
- Some of the political neologisms which end with "-phobia" may not be directly associated with medical science, but have academic significance.
