Morphology
indifferentism = indifferent (semi-transparent) = in + different + ism
Built from 'indifferent' + '-ism' to name a doctrinal position regarding religions; formation is regular but the theological content is specialised.
Etymology
Indifferentism comes from in- 'not', different 'not the same', and -ism 'belief or attitude', so it can describe the idea that things are 'not different' in value. That's why it is used for the belief that no one religion is better than another and that all religions are equally valid.
