Non-denominational
A non-denominational person or organization is not restricted to any particular or specific religious denomination.
Overview
The term has been used in the context of various faiths including Jainism,[1]Baha'i Faith,[2]Zoroastrianism,[3]Unitarian Universalism,[4]paganism,[5]Christianity,[6]Islam,[7]Judaism,[8]Hinduism,[9]Buddhism[10] and Wicca.[11] It stands in contrast with a religious denomination. Religionists of a non-denominational persuasion tend to be more open-minded in the views on various religious matters and rulings. Some converts towards non-denominational strains of thought have been influenced by disputes over traditional teachings in the previous institutions they attended.[12] Nondenominationalism has also been used as a tool for introducing neutrality into a public square when the local populace are derived from a wide-ranging set of religious beliefs.[13]
