Deicide

: For the American death metal band, see Deicide (band) 
Deicide (a 17th-century coinage as it were reflecting a medieval Latin *deicidium, from de-us "god" and -cidium "cutting, killing") is the killing of a god. 
The term is used of the Crucifixion of Jesus specifically, but may more generally refer to any life-death-rebirth deity who is killed and then resurrected.
In Christianity, the term was notably used in the question guilt associated with a responsibility for the death of Jesus.
