Apatheism

/ˌæpəˈθiɪzəm/ noun

Definition

Indifference to the question of God's existence, or the belief that the existence or non-existence of God is irrelevant to human life. Apatheists simply don't care whether gods exist.

Etymology

A modern portmanteau combining 'apathy' and 'theism,' coined in the late 20th century. It reflects a pragmatic approach that focuses on living rather than debating metaphysical questions about divinity.

Kelly Says

Apatheism might be the most honest religious position for many modern people—like the friend who says 'I don't know if there's a God and honestly, I'm too busy living my life to worry about it' which is surprisingly close to some Zen approaches!
