I’m curious if there’s a name to the belief I have. I wouldn’t exactly call it atheist, though i generally lean that way, but I wouldn’t call it non-theist. The thing is, I just plain don’t care if God exists or not. They could, or they couldn’t, it really has no bearing on how I live my life. For that reason along I think I go in the atheist camp, but I always thought that was used to describe people who don’t think he exists.

    That is what I call Atheist. You don’t care if one exists or not.
    Atheist like us generally get thrown in with anti-theists (people who refuse an existence of gods) and are just as bad as a fundamentalist trying to prove they are right about a god existing or not.

      The classical Atheist cares. He finds it important that God does not exist.

      This here is an Agnostic.

        You’re thinking of anti-theist.

        Antitheism, also spelled anti-theism, is the philosophical position that theism should be opposed.

        Atheists can merely not care if there was a god because they don’t see any proof of it.

        Atheism, in the broadest sense, is an absence of belief in the existence of deities.

        Atheism can also be more anti than that, but isn’t necessarily always that way

        I see you fall into my second line of lumping Atheists with anti-theists.

        Agnostic is you believe there is something equating to a god but don’t believe in God

          You’re capitalising God to mean some abraamic god or just whichever currently proposed god?
