I thought god-fearing usually refers to religious people. It's a positive term, too (when used in self-description, at least).

  Over-fear of God can lead to outright rejection.

    People who reject God are still religious, they still believe; atheists simply don't believe it. They don't "reject" God, they think he's fantasy, nothing to be remotely fearful of.
