The word for today is…
heterodox (adjective) -
1: contrary to or different from an acknowledged standard, a traditional form, or an established religion : unorthodox, unconventional
2: holding unorthodox opinions or doctrines
Source : Merriam-Webster
Etymology : Individuals often see other people’s ideas as unconventional while regarding their own as common sense. On second thought, this take may be more on the mild side—in other words, closer to orthodox (“conventional”) insight about human nature than to heterodox (“unconventional” or “contrary”) opinion. Both orthodox and heterodox developed from the same root, the Greek doxa, meaning “opinion.” Heterodox combines doxa with heter-, a combining form meaning “other” or “different”; orthodox pairs doxa with orth-, meaning “correct” or “straight.”
