apatheism

apatheism (ap-uh-THEE-iz-m) - n., the belief that the question of the existence God is unimportant.


More of an attitude than a belief, really. Apathy towards the existence of a god, or towards theism in general -- not rejecting it, but considering the whole thing irrelevant. Coined as a portmanteau around 2001 by either Robert J. Nash or Stuart D. Johnson (sources are disagreeing here).
