There is a lesser known term for someone who doesn’t care whether God exists or not called an apatheist. I have never met anyone that was that, but just wondering if there are any on here and if anyone here knows that term?

There may be - I like this quote on apatheism from Diderot.

"It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley, but to believe or not believe in God is not important at all."

It sounds like a label invented by people with an unjustified sense of self-importance, for the benefit of others with the same problem.

If there are then I doubt you are going to find them in R&S.

Actually I'd say that there are millions of people out there who don't give it a seconds thought from one year to the next.

Archibaldy why wouldn’t they be in religion & spirituality?

archibaldy

It was a half joke but I’d assume a section on religion isn’t the place where someone who doesn’t think about the existence of god is likely to bother posting.

Is there a lesser-known term for someone who doesn't care whether Allah exists? Or Buddha? Or Krishna? Or Jehovah? Or the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

Not that I know of JimF. Apatheism can capture them all. It means you don’t care if God or gods exist.

// Apatheism can capture them all. It means you don’t care if God or gods exist. //

If Any God wants me to have a relationship with him/her/it,
then it is up to that god to reveal themself to me.
Not the other way round.

Up until that moment i remain an atheist.
