Oppositionalism

Oppositionalism: noun. The belief that the more opposition exists to an opinion, the more valid that opinion is. Oppositionalism is a widespread phenomenon especially among conspiracy theorists, who tend to believe that the opposition their views generate reveals that they have discovered a truth the establishment does not want the world to know. An oppositionalist will often question the motives of their opponents, a frequently cited example being that of vocal atheists. The oppositionalist claim is that if an atheist really did not believe in God, they would not try to convince other people of his inexistence. Hence, the real reason why atheists try to convince people not to believe in God is that they serve the Antichrist, the existence of whom validates one’s pre-existent belief in God.
