Definition & Meaning of "religitard"in English

What is the origin of the term "religitard" and how is it used?

"Religitard" is a vulgar English slang term that emerged in the late 20th or early 21st century, formed by combining "religious" with "retard," the latter being a highly offensive term for someone with intellectual disability. It is used to insult a person who is seen as dogmatic, inflexible, or blindly devoted to their religion. The term appears in informal speech, online commentary, and hostile or mocking contexts. It is explicitly derogatory and offensive, targeting both religious belief and the person's perceived intellect, and is not neutral or reclaimed.
