ungodliness

Absence of reverence

Ungodliness is the quality of being wicked, sinful, or contrary to religious principles.

In religious contexts, it describes behavior or attitudes that disregard or defy God's laws: The preacher warned against the ungodliness of modern society.

More loosely, it can mean something outrageous or extreme: an ungodly hour, an ungodly amount of money.
