For the Infocom text adventure, see Infidel (computer game).An "infidel" is an unbeliever concerning central tenets of a religion, often used in a pejorative sense to describe those who explicitly deny them (especially regarding asserted aspects of a religion's deities). More generally, an infidel is one who doubts or rejects a particular (usually heirarchical) doctrine, system, or principle.
- In Christianity, "infidel" is an archaism now supplanted usually by "non-Christian".
- In Islam, an Arabic term romanized as kafir and usually translated as "infidel" or "unbeliever", is used to refer to non-Muslims.
