- The correct names to go with these definitions would almost certainly be heliotheism and heliophilia. The first is attested, while the second is used almost exclusive with respect to sun-loving plants. Cheers! bd2412 T 22:11, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- Heliotheism is belief in sun-worship. The belief that everyone used to believe that is not likely to be the same word (if there is one)> SpinningSpark 23:40, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
