Theophilia

Theophilia means "friendship toward God" and is used to describe a religion that thinks God is good and will rationalize God as good when evidence suggests otherwise (for example, blaming existence of evil on Satan or man when God is to blame).

This term is used by maltheists, who view God with hostility.
