  1. antinomian

    Antinomian is a term typically used in a theological context that refers to an individual or a belief system that rejects laws or legalism, particularly moral or religious laws, either in principle or practice. Derived from the Greek words "anti-", meaning against, and "nomos", meaning law, antinomians essentially believe that moral conduct or obligations are not necessary for faith and salvation. Depending on the context, it's variously associated with Protestant Christianity, anarchism, or other philosophies or movements.
