Orthopraxy
In the study of religion, orthopraxy is correct conduct, both ethical and liturgical, as opposed to faith or grace etc. This contrasts with orthodoxy, which emphasizes correct belief, and ritualism, the use of rituals. The word is a neoclassical compound— (''orthopraxia'') meaning 'correct practice'.
While orthodoxies make use of codified beliefs, in the form of creeds, and ritualism more narrowly centers on the strict adherence to prescribed rites or rituals, orthopraxy is focused on issues of family, cultural integrity, the transmission of tradition, sacrificial offerings, concerns of purity, ethical systems, and the enforcement thereof. Typically, traditional or folk religions (paganism, animism) are more concerned with orthopraxy than orthodoxy, and some argue that equating the term "faith" with "religion" presents a Christian-biased notion of what the primary characteristic of religion is. In the case of Hinduism orthopraxy and ritualism are mixed to the point that they become a single identity.
==Etymology==
From the Greek orthos "straight" + praxis "action", first used in 1851〔Shorter Oxford English Dictionary 3rd ed〕
There are two versions of the term: "orthopraxis" and "orthopraxy".〔Oxford English Dictionary〕 "Orthopraxy" is the older and more common term, and is parallel to "orthodoxy".
