antichristian = Christian (transparent) = anti + christian

The meaning is directly compositional: 'anti-' expresses opposition and 'Christian' supplies the target of that opposition.

Etymology

Antichristian uses the prefix anti- meaning 'against', like in antibiotic, and the part Christian meaning 'Christ' or 'Christianity'. So antichristian describes ideas or actions that are 'against' or opposed to Christianity.
