- tomrod 4y agoAn apologist is a defender of a philosophy or religion that proceeds by first taking certain (often unprovable) axioms as true without proof (i.e. worldview), then proceeds to defend it vigorously with a veneer of logic. One can be an apologist for, say, the axiom of choice (an actual axiom), a Neopagan faith, #metoo, etc., regardless of how much evidence is against or for the worldview based upon the assumptions.
