You would be referring to an Adamite. The Adamite sect became popular in Rome during the second century AD. They believed as part of their relationship with God that they should return to the "state of innocence" that Adam and Eve had before they sinned. This included "holy nudism" or abstaining from the wearing of all clothing. They lived in what are believed to be the first organized nudist colonies, most being located in North Africa and in the Middle East. But at the end of the third century, Catholicism rose up to dominance in Rome and quashed all other sects of Christianity there.
The Adamite movement was revitalized in the 15th and 16th centuries throughout parts of Europe by several groups including the Neo-Adamites and the Anabaptists. This resurgence declined during the later part of the 16th century. Today, Christian Naturism is on the rise again and becoming increasingly popular worldwide.
