Christians are most certainly called to obey "religious" laws, i.e. the Ten Commandments.

Christians are exempt from the "ceremonial" laws -- no priesthood of men; no sin offerings; no fasting or dietary laws, etc.

This site explains it somewhat better.

http://www.gotquestions.org/antinomianism.html

“People may wonder, “If I am saved by grace and all my sins are forgiven, why not sin all I want?” That thinking is not the result of true conversion because true conversion yields a greater desire to obey, not a lesser one. God’s desire—and our desire when we are regenerated by His Spirit—is that we strive to not sin, out of gratitude for His grace and forgiveness.”
