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.

    And I can’t beat knowledge into the unreceptive, ignorant and assumptive, so I guess we’re at an impasse.

      Yes, I’m on one side, with dictionaries, etymology, and the majority of atheists, and you’re on the other side. I would agree with you but then we’d both be wrong.

      Google:

      noun: atheism. disbelief or lack of belief in the existence of God or gods.

      Gnostic - adjective. relating to knowledge, especially esoteric mystical knowledge.

      Me:

      Theism is belief in a god, atheism is a lack of belief. Atheism is not necessarily a belief that god does not exist.

      Gnostic is about knowledge and not belief
