Many English words are not originally English words. It's not really comparable to kafir or gentile either.


Yeah. But when it was introduced into England, it was a foreign word and specifically used by the Christian church to refer to unbelievers. So the idea that Christianity doesn't have special words compared to Islam and Judaism is faulty.
