Antinomianism ( [] 'against' and [] 'law') is a term used to describe any view which rejects laws or legalism and argues against moral, religious or social norms (), or is at least considered to do so. The term has both religious and secular meanings.
In some Christian belief systems, an antinomian is one who takes the principle of salvation by faith and divine grace, to the point of asserting that the saved are not bound to follow the moral law contained in the Old Covenant laws.
