Gerin oil or geriniol is a fictional drug used as a device to criticize religion in articles written by Richard Dawkins. The word is an anagram of "religion".

The first article, Gerin Oil,[1] was published in an American secular humanism publication, Free Inquiry, in December 2003. It was popularised in an article titled Opiate of the masses.[2] It is described as dangerous legal drug "Gerin Oil" or "Geriniol."
