They are not real atheists because a real atheist keep a firm belief in his-her mind that God does not exist.
Apatheists on the other hand wouldn't care less whether God exist or not although they may think that God does not exist.
When I go in the shopping center I can feel that most of the people main attraction is pure materialism.
In their mind there is no place for any mystic God.
Their God are the material things.
My guess is that these days 90% of people are Apatheists.
Pulling bullshit definitions out of his ass since 2013!
Look, I know you;ve heard this before, so I don't really expect it to penetrate, but I'll try. Atheist just means to lack belief in God. No to hold any firm positive belief, though some also do that.
You are describing strong and weak atheism, but it's all still atheism. Lack in God for any reason at all? That's not apathy, that is atheism.
Now there are whole other spectrums of belief and behavior that theists often conflate. The spiritual, the supernatural, religiosity, etc. People can believe in supernatural, be non materialistic, and still be an atheist.
Practically almost none follow the definition of the terms that is why I rely on what people say rather than what in realty they suppose to stick to that is the reason why I judge people for what they say.
This apply to everybody not just to the so called atheists.
Take religions.
In reality people who follow religions suppose to follow what the various religions say but in reality almost nobody follow their directions.
An old saying........THE DRESS DOESN'T MAKE THE MONK.......
I guess you never thought of that Aro, did you?

How?
Simple Lom.
Because Apatheist is someone who is not interested in accepting or rejecting any claims that gods exist or do not exist while an atheist instead is interested.
