The early Christians went in two directions. Some, like the people in Galatia, became obsessed with legalism. Others took their Christian freedom too far: They refused to follow anyone's rules. Which is the greater danger in your circle?

but now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and beggarly elemental spirits, whose slaves you want to be once more?
~Galatians 4:9
 
I have a feeling that my circle is in more danger of being more obsessed with legalism.  There are people that say, "This is the way it always has been done and this is how it will remain."  I will also not deny that some have probably taken their religious freedoma tab too far by bringing some possible undesireable issues into the church.
