indifferentism
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: indifferentisms
Etymology: From indifferent + -ism.
Senses: examples: text: The second class of parishioners were less Philistine, certainly, but even more hopeless from the parish priest’s point of view. In their luxurious houses they lived an easy, selfish, and sensual life, beyond his reach, surrounded by a wall of indifferentism, and contemptuous of all that was not tangible and material.
ref: 1904, Guy Thorne, chapter 2, in When It Was Dark, New York: G. P. Putnam’s Sons, page 7:
text: To the pantheist or monist [mystical experiences] are experiences of the One, which is identical with himself, and which is probably the same in all religions and even in secular mysticism. In face of this easygoing tolerance or indifferentism it is perhaps not surprising that monotheists are often intolerant, believing that God has chosen them and by implication not others.

ref: 1884, Vernon Lee, chapter 5, in The Countess of Albany:
text: This life, whose dreary superficiality is covered by the glitter of universal blague, like the stupid clowning of a harlequin by the spangles of a motley costume, induced in him a Frenchified—but most un-French—cosmopolitanism, in reality a mere barren indifferentism posing as intellectual superiority.
