Comtist

I am not aware that there is any sect of Agnostics; and if there be, I am not its acknowledged prophet or pope. I desire to leave to the Comtists the entire monopoly of the manufacture of imitation ecclesiasticism.

The implied critique of the Comtists is clear: they imagined themselves an advance on the creators of putative sciences de l'homme, where they were in fact a wrong-headed deviation from the work initiated by their supposed intellectual progenitors.
