What do you call a person who is indifferent to the existence of a god? There are plenty of terms for those who believe (often tied to specific deities), an atheist asserts there is no god, and an agnostic is uncertain about it. But what about someone who simply doesn’t care either way?


Someone who doesn’t care whether there is a god or not might be described as an “apatheist.” This term combines “apathy” and “theism,” suggesting a disinterest in the question of the existence of deities. Other terms that could also apply are “indifferent” or “nonchalant” regarding religious beliefs. However, “apatheism” is the most commonly used term for this specific viewpoint.
