    There’s a relatively little-used term that perfectly describes you: apatheist. Someone who doesn’t care enough to make a decision about how they feel about religion. I’m mostly in the same boat - I just simply have other things I need to care about more

      This is actually already covered by the term atheist. An atheist is simply someone not convinced there is a god, regardless of reason.

      Agnostic is a weasel term and literally means “without knowledge”. Formally it means that you are convinced, but can’t provide justification. A brilliant term for times when not believing would get you lynched, but language has evolved in the last couple of centuries.

      Dunno if we really need more terms. Agnostics don’t necessarily care a ton about the decision.

      I am an apatheist because if a God existed, I can’t see how that knowledge would change my day-to-day life in any way.
