Credophile
literally “belief lover”.
as for the previous poster, you fool that’s not what credophile means. credophile is an awesome term coined originally by the writer l. sprague de camp, in a letter to james randi.
it’s a label for those who appear particularly gullible and are particularly inclined to believe whatever claims come their way. (see scientologist).
to quote de camp directly,
a credophile gets positive pleasure from belief and pain from doubt… the credophile collects beliefs the way a jackdaw does nest ornaments: not for utility but for glitter. and, once having embraced a belief, it takes something more than mere disproof to make him let go.
one who is consumed by the desire to -ssure that credit is -ssigned to oneself for research, stories, references and other information for which it is useful to be considered “the source.”
