heterodoxy

heterodoxy
   This term (from the Greek heteros, meaning "other," and doxa, meaning "opinion") refers to opinions or teachings that are different from, or contrary to, acknowledged standards of religious belief or traditional doctrines; heterodox views are unconventional or unorthodox, though, are not cosidered heresy.
