How non-religious are you?
About 8 years back, I had a conversation about beliefs in religion. I knew of a couple terms but they don't quite fit the bill:
atheist: one who believes that there is no deity
agnostic: one who believes one cannot know whether or not a god exists
I'm more in the camp of "It doesn't matter to me whether or not a god exists." That's when I coined the term apathist. Now that I'm searching around for pre-existing information about that term, I find that the word exists and it pretty much means what I think it means. Only it's spelled like this: apatheist. I don't know when that word first came into being, but unless told otherwise, I'm sayin' that I invented it, it's just that the combination is obvious enough that other great minds will be able to come up with the same word.
I'm just sayin'.
