Eleutheism

/ɪˈluːðərɪzəm/ noun

Definition

A philosophical or religious belief emphasizing human freedom, free will, and liberation from constraint or oppression.

Etymology

From Greek eleutheros meaning 'free,' combined with the suffix -ism indicating a system of belief or practice.

Kelly Says

Eleutheism directly challenged the idea that God or fate controls everything—it insisted humans had genuine choices, which was radical when everything else taught obedience.
