In the Bible, the word antichrist is only used as a description of people who don't believe in the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.

Unlike the characters in the book, however, these different sorts of people don't seem to mix well.

Truly, where the worshipers of this image of the Beast predominate, the man whose brow and hand are unbranded by this superstition, who neither thinks nor acts in accordance with it, suffers ostracism if not virulent persecution. — James Morgan Pryse
