Christophobia.

'We used the word Christophobic to describe the increasing tendency in the western world to reject any authoritative reference to, or use of, the name of Christ in public arenas such as education, politics etc. It is derived from two root words: ‘Christo’ – pertaining to the name of Christ, the Messiah, Jesus; and ‘phobia’ - a fear. A person who is Christophobic is therefore one to whom even the mention or use of Christ’s name as an authority, is regarded as unallowable in public life. A Christophobic person is a Christophobe. One group of Christophobes, who have been around for quite a while, is the Masonic Lodge with their (often unstated) rule that you can mention the creator, the “Great Architect,” or even God, but not Jesus or Christ.
The opposite of Christophobic would be Christophilic – a person who is a lover of the name of Christ, but we don’t think that will catch on.' John Mackay.
