Antidisestablishmentarianism (listen to British sample (info), American sample (info)) is a political position that originated in 19th-century Britain in opposition to proposals for the disestablishment of the Church of England, that is, to remove the Anglican Church’s status as the state church of England, Ireland, and Wales. The word was used in 1838 in Church and State by William Gladstone, under whose administration the Irish Church Act 1869 was passed.
The establishment was maintained in England, but in Ireland the Church of Ireland (Anglican) was disestablished in 1871. In Wales, four Church of England dioceses were disestablished in 1920, subsequently becoming the Church in Wales.
The question of disestablishment of the Church of England is still current, often tied with the position of the English monarch as "Supreme Governor" of the Church (see Act of Settlement 1701). Those who wish to continue the establishment of the Church of England are referred to as Antidisestablishmentarians.[1]

And why do most suffer from Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis?
Why can’t they keep life simple?
so obviously do….. the Church of England denomination of Christians would generally be in favour of antidisestablishmentarianism.
Of course to understand this answer, you would have to understand what the word actually means…. I wonder if you do?

Word Origin & History
antidisestablishmentarianism
1838, said by Weekley to be first recorded in Gladstone’s "Church and State," "in reference to a scheme directed against the Church of England," from establishment in the sense of "the ecclesiastical system established by law; the Church of England" (1731). Hence, establishmentarianism "the principle of a state church," and disestablish (1590s) "to deprive (a church) of especial state patronage and support" (first used specifically of Christian churches in 1806). Rarely used at all now except in examples of the longest words, amongst which it has been counted since at least 1923.

Just curious.
The Church of England is the official church of state. Some wish to disestablish it as the church of state. Some wish to keep it, so they are against or anti the distestablishment.
The first group believe in disestablishmentarianism.
The second group believe in antidisestablishmentarianism.

"Antidisestablishmentarianism" has 28 letters. On the surface it seems like you would have 28! permutations of those letters, but because some letters are the same, you have to divide by the number of ways to arrange the duplicates.
Here’s a table of how many times each letter appears.
A –> 4 times
B –> 1 time
D –> 1 time
E –> 2 times
H –> 1 time
I –> 5 times
L –> 1 time
M –> 2 times
N –> 3 times
R –> 1 time
S –> 4 times
T –> 3 times
The total number of unique permutations of these 28 letters would be:
……………. 28!
—————————————– = 3.06319469 × 10^22 seconds
4! 1! 1! 2! 1! 5! 1! 2! 3! 1! 4! 3!
If you divide that by the number of seconds in an average year (31,556,926 or 3.16 x 10^8) you come out with:
9.71 × 10^14 years
Answer:
971 *trillion* years!!!

It has a real meaning. Disestablishment is the principle of separating church and state. Thus, those who oppose national churches and state-sponsored religions are disestablishmentarians, and the are said to endorse disestablishmentarianism. Rather than use "establishmentarianism" as the opposite (i.e., the people who are in favor of a state-sponsored official religion), we use "antidisestablishmentarianism."
There are oddities like this all over language as soon as you get into a specialized field (e.g., politics, science, etc.). My wife is a geologist and it is common for them to say "rock type A is overlain by rock type B." To me, it would be simpler to say "rock type A is under rock type B," but "overlain by" is the way scientists prefer to talk about it.
