I like it. I'm not too savvy with prefixes, but irreligious is good. "Areligious" would be incorrect, as would plain old "religious," but "irreligious hits right on the G spot of meta-descriptive religious monikers.

Is there a difference between irreligious and areligious?

I also sort of like "irreligious"'s lexical similarities to "irreverant" which, to me, is far more indicative of the meaning ascribed to "irreligious." Sort of like being open to religion, but being open to throwing a cream pie in its face, too.

Does anyone else make the connection between the two terms?

[BADGE OF HONOR]

Seeing as irreligious and areligious are both under some scrutiny I'd like to offer this as a suggestion:
