 "antidisestablishmentarianism" 
According to Webster's New Universal Unabridged Dictionary, which weighs
a ton BTW,

an-ti-dis-es-tab-lish-men-ta-ri-an-ism  n.
opposition to the disestablishment of a church or religious body;
specifically, strong opposition to the disestablishment of a State
Church, as was manifested in Ireland in 1869, when Gladstone
disestablished the Irish Church (Protestant) to which all the people,
including Roman Catholics, had been compelled to pay tithes.
