Poll: Do you identify as an apatheist?

Yndda

from wikipedia:

Quote:

Apatheism, also known as pragmatic atheism or practical atheism, is acting with apathy or disregard toward belief or disbelief in a deity or deities (a god or gods) due to the lack of reason, motivation, or will to express interest in theism.

An apatheist is someone who is not interested in accepting or rejecting any claims that gods exist or do not exist. An apatheist lives as if there are no gods and explains natural phenomena without reference to any deities. The existence of god(s) is not outright rejected, but may be designated unnecessary or useless; gods neither provide purpose to life, nor influence everyday life, according to this view.

In other words, apatheists consider the question of the existence of gods as neither meaningful nor relevant to their lives. Some apatheists hold that if it were possible to prove that God(s) exist or not, their behavior would not change.

One could say that. Depends who you ask.

fireaero

No. But I haven't really figured out what I believe in either.

Matte

I guess so. Does it count to believe the 'idea' of a god can be purposeful for others?

Not really. I don't believe in any religion or God, but I'm open to having debates about it. It's a very interesting topic for me.

Yes, I did read the OP and it is a simple atheism but with extra special snowflake label

just like christianity but someone believes in catholicism or protestatism or ortodox, etc. etc.

what the OP states is clearly just atheism, and it's so unnecessary to create all these irrelevant labels that basically just means atheism only with an extra definition, but the same context.

I agree with what Techo said

Most of the time.

Sometimes I do think about it though.

HandsOn

Yes.

No. I'm Jewish. I did go through an atheist/agnostic phase though.

You do not go through an agnostic phase unless now you KNOW the answer to gods existence since agnosticism has nothing to do with belief but your knowledge on the subject. Care to share the answers with the rest of us?

Actually this is wrong. What the OP described sounds closer to agnosticism.

I don't know if there's a word for what I believe and I don't really care enough to seek one out, but I just believe everyone is subject to their reality and therefore religion is subjective

DivaCup

Yes I suppose I do. Religion holds no significance in my life and I've never been drawn to it.

the OP only includes a basic definition, NOT a history of apatheism.

apatheism has been around before tumblr.

miss me with this stupid snowflake rant

edit: actually let me extend

so it's wrong for people to specify what they believe in and how they believe in what they do, with a label? does it bother you that people who outright don't believe in a god/gods don't directly/immediately consider themselves atheist?

btw yes everyone knows that this is simply a subunit of atheism. IT'S LITERALLY CALLED PRACTICAL ATHEISM

CTFU

your argument makes no sense.
