I identify as an atheist, but more precisely, I’m an apatheist, because when it comes to the question of God’s existence, I don’t care.
God, if it somehow exists, can take care of itself. It is, after all, all powerful. There is no problem it can face that it cannot solve, and it doesn’t need my help or concern to do so.
But humans are not god. They face problems they cannot solve, and many of these problems arise from their fellow humans, who believe they are acting out God’s will.
I am a humanist, because I care about, love, and owe a duty of service to my fellow humans. God doesn’t enter into it. We need each other, and seriously, we need to forget about God and do the hard work of helping each other.
From Apatheism: A Primer
Apatheism isthe philosophical attitude of indifference, both public and private, to (1) the question of the existence of a deity, (2) the metaphysical and practical value of loyalty to that deity, and/or (3) the interaction of that deity with the natural world.
