Definition: Anomie is a term from Theology used to describe an atmosphere or environment characterized by deep religious apathy and disbelief in religious authority, especially through charismatic or esoteric beliefs. It comes from "the anomie," which originally meant "difference" or "separation." In this context, the "anomie" refers to a state of confusion or disquiet that can lead to irrational behavior due to lack of belief in established divine authority and institutions.
