Antitheist

The Antitheists were a network of Coruscanti atheist extremists that sought to eradicate Coruscant folk religion; their motive for their terrorist actions was often sited as being "revenge" for the Coruscanti Crusades.

Although most Antitheists likely descended from worshippers of the religion (considering most of them were native to Coruscant), they felt that descendants of "non-worshippers" should be granted reparations for the pains endured from the crusades, and the folk religion should be eradicated from Republic populations for the harm it caused in past millennia.

They primarily targeted particularly religious settlements in their raids and bombed religious symbols including churches, religious statues, and religious burial grounds.

History
The Antitheists initially emerged c. 1000 BBY as a full-blown rebellion on Coruscant, as many of these rebels suspected that the Republic government was gradually returning to their theocratic past, and claimed that the Jedi - who obviously did not worship Coruscanti folk religion but were still occasionally involved the crusades - were being tormented as slaves to the government. These rebellions of course did not succeed, and eventually the Antitheists were reduced to political activists and occasional insurgencies. The terrorism of the Antitheists began in around 200 BBY following a series of attacks on religious sites on Caamas; over the next few decades several religious civilians on Coruscant were murdered in cold blood - the majority of these attacks were attributed to the Antitheists, or what was left of them. By 100 BBY, the Antitheists as the militants they were known as were all but gone, though Antitheism survived in the form of separatist activism in some populations with an everlasting negative stigma.
