profaner
One who blasphemes
One who profanes—who treats sacred things with irreverence or contempt.
The word appears in religious and literary contexts: The profaner of the temple was cast out.
It can extend beyond religion to anyone who degrades something others hold precious: profaners of the nation's memory.
