For me, not caring depends on context. If the people around me care about God, then I will act like I care too. If people don't care, then I won't either. However, if I can't stand the attitudes, and I have a choice to be there or not, then I won't hang out with them. I would say that in the last 10 years, nobody has asked me if I believe in God.

Other than Buddhism, what religion is not a pathway to the Divinity? Even Buddhism is a pathway to nirvana, a state of spirituality that exists only within. No scientific evidence exists for that.

I dont know much about the first two, so i will let them be.
Interesting that you include the last two as religions. I would include scientism which is a fervent belief in science as nirvana.
But none of them talk about a path to Divinity.

I'm glad that you've finally come to this realization.
Jeez, these terms are really starting to get out of hand...
I can see Theist/Atheist terms going the way of the 72 gender identities...
EgoApatheism: A non-caring of religion and godlike existence identified by the individual alone. Based on a persons experience with self.
DemiFluidApatheism: Not caring if multiple religions and or gods/goddesses exist, with some static and others fluctuating in intensity.
BiApatheism: Not caring if two religions or gods/goddesses exist at the same time.
AeroApatheism: The lack of concern over religion changes in relation to one's surroundings.
FemApatheism: A non-binary lack of concern over whether goddesses exist or not.
It's time to put a stop to this folks....
No all of you GET YOUR TAILS UP TO THE "RECENT AK PHOTO'S' THREAD in the Alaska state forum and marvel at RayinAK's amazing photo's of the Aurora Borealis!
Go on now... I want to hear what your favorite photo is....

Static or fluid? If your a fluid RayiniAKpethiest there will be periods where you will believe in Alaska photo's. If so, you don't have to search much, some of the best pics are on the end few pages of the thread.
Well at least drop by the Minnesota forum and inquire about "Hotdish" recipes. Things are kinda slow there these days and they could use the action.
And don't even try to tell me you're also a Minnesotapetheist....
I just ran across this in an article by Jonathan Rauch.
Let It Be: Three Cheers for Apatheism
It came to me recently in a blinding vision that I am an apatheist. Well, "blinding vision" may be an overstatement. "Wine-induced haze" might be more strictly accurate. This was after a couple of glasses of merlot, when someone asked me about my religion. "Atheist," I was about to say, but I stopped myself. "I used to call myself an atheist," I said, "and I still don't believe in God, but the larger truth is that it has been years since I really cared one way or another. I'm" -- that was when it hit me -- "an ... apatheist!" https://www.jonathanrauch.com/jrauch...yond_religion/
Heh. Yeah, enough wine will do that to you.
