Most theist never placed in real thought in what they believe and why.
You know all those silly idiot who say that they have had near death experiences, or have been saved by their angel?

They've thought about it.

But Realmfighter are you sure!? As an atheist I have a hard time believing that anyone could think about religion and come down on the side of theism!

No using. That's not what freedom is for.

Yes, we do have brains. Amazing, isn't it? And you know what? We can believe in evolution too! And the Big Bang!

Or we can just, you know, not care how the universe started. It doesn't really matter to me. The universe started however it started, it doesn't affect my beliefs or religion one way or the other (unless it was some other religion or something).

This just in: Realmfighter is still an Apathetic Nihilist! And he still wishes to do things to you, yes you specifically, that would cause Toady to burn this website to the ground and go live as a hermit for the rest of his life if they were mentioned out loud!

It's the new Nikov's Wife! So zany! Buy now! I'm not even selling anything, but I want you to buy it anyway!

SNAAAAAKEEE EYYYYYYYEEEEEEESSSS!

*ahem*

Well, uh, no idea where that came from.

Oh, I have a definite religion. It's just that it doesn't even bother dealing with how the universe started or stuff like that. Science can explain all that :P

By the way, I will link THIS so many times.

For someone who supposedly doesn't care, Realmfighter sure feels the need to air his views a lot :P.

I don't care about there being a god or not.

I care about people being dicks because of this question.

Hey, apatheism is what all the cool kids are practicing.

See that awesome pun in my religious stance? Yeah, I don't care.

Edit: Or not practicing, I guess.

If you care what other people think about it, though, you aren't an apathist.

Indifference
Also known as the "I'll eat another cookie" philosophy[citation needed], an indifferent apatheist would say, "Since the existence of God can never be proven, nor can it be disproven, I won't waste my time asking questions to which there are no answers, and just eat another cookie."
Better known as Indifferentism in that "Indifferentism is the belief that there is no evidence that one religion or philosophy is superior to another."

I'm this.

There is nothing in there about not caring about what people think, just a belief that there in no evidence either way.

Holy hell. Indifferentism? How long have these various permutations been hanging around because I spent my teenage years believing just about that under the label of agnosticism. "We don't know. We can't know. So who cares?"
