POLL: What's your definition of an agnostic? Atheist?
#12
RE: POLL: What's your definition of an agnostic? Atheist?
From wikipedia (bolding mine):

Wikipedia Wrote:Apatheism describes the manner of acting towards a belief or lack of a belief in a deity; so applies to both theism and atheism.

Indeed, the article also goes on to list several types of apatheism from the perspectives of atheism and theism. Apatheism, like agnosticism, is something applied to belief to add more description; it applies to both belief and non-belief. Deists are almost always apatheists, since they do not believe their God wishes them to behave according to any particular religious or moral compass; ergo their actions have no effect on how their God will judge them (if they even believe it will). Likewise, some atheists are apatheists, choosing simply to not care about religion, or not giving it much thought.
