prettygoodwordadiaphorism - n. in moral theology, the tolerance of actions or beliefs not specifically prohibited or enjoined.
And said actions or beliefs are adiaphora, which comes from Greek meaning indifferent. Comes up most often in a Christian context, but the term was taken over from the Stoics, which used it in much the same meaning, only without reference to the Bible.
