MISCREANT

n. A person of the highest degree of unworth. Etymologically, the word means unbeliever, & its present signification may be regarded as theology's noblest contribution to the development of our language.--Ambrose Bierce, Devil's Dictionary

"There is nothing more odious than the majority. It consists of a few powerful men who lead the way; of accomodating rascals & submissive weaklings; & of a mass of men who trot after them without in the least knowing their own minds."--Goethe
