| 释义 | irreligious (once / 6449 pages) adj If you're irreligious, you don't believe in a religion, and you may even feel some bitterness toward religion in general. Being irreligious can vary from not caring one way or another about religion to actively opposing the very idea of religion. Atheism — not believing in any god — and agnosticism — doubting the existence of god — are seen as irreligious.
