(μισέω ,'to hate, and θεός, God) is hatred of God and everything divine hatred of truth, wisdom, virtue, and reason. In classic Greek we only find μισόθεος, hating the gods, godless (AEsch. Ag. 1090). Sometimes the word is changed to θεομίσης, a person hating the gods, and to θεομίσητος , a person hated by the gods. The misotheist is akin to the misologist. (See MISOLOGY).
