In Italy, in our Humanist association we used “credini” for all religious people.

“Cretini” means “idiots” (originally “affected by cretinism”, the developmental syndrome caused by iodine deficit during pregnancy).

“Credere” is the verb meaning “to believe”.

So it could be read as “believing idiots”.

Always loved it and have been trying to replicate it somehow in English ever since.
