The word "religionists" is a perfectly good one in the context of Donuel's post. It doesn't just mean persons of faith. It means persons of faith who are also touched by zealotry regarding their beliefs and who may be militant about defending them. Do look it up. It's often helpful to do that before going on the attack. Picking Donuel up for using it is an unworthy deflecting tactic. Neither Donuel nor I, seeing people streaming into Sunday Mass, would say "Hey, just look at that bunch of religionists." It would be nice if you were equally vigilant about Pete calling perfectly respectable and honest scientists "evolutionists."
