denialism, denialist

[Jonathan Lighter]

Not in OED but Wikipedia has an entire article. Half a million Googlits.

Basically, these refer to the worldwide practice of denying established
facts (I guess I should say "'established'  'facts'") for political,
religious, psychological or similar reasons (I guess I should say
"'political,'  'religious,' 'psychological' or 'similar'").
