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.

You run into a problem though.

If someone has a view that it's worthwhile to argue about religion, or that god can be proved to or not to exist... well, isn't there no evidence either way for that, too?

What

that's when you punch each other in the face in slow motion and knock each other out simultaneously.

Excuse me. I find that offensive as I am a Matrix Atheist.

[Leafsnail]

Well, lemme try and break it down.

Indifferentism stems from the premise that "no evidence either way = doesn't matter = you shouldn't care".

However, indifferentism is, itself, a belief.  If you were to take it against a belief that there can be evidence for or against a god, you'd end up with... no evidence either way.  So you shouldn't really care about that, either...

[fqllve]

So wait. You're saying you could take the position "there's no evidence either way that there can be no evidence proving or disproving god. So it doesn't matter whether you think there can be evidence. So you shouldn't care about evidence."

That is... confusing.

[Realmfighter]

Are you saying that is fruitless to get into a debate abou- wait shit I think I got it.

Your saying that if you were to get into a debate about weather or not there is no evidence into there being a god, there would be no evidence for there being evidence or not?

I think I lost it again.

Precisely.

I am indifferent about indifference about evidence for or against god!

[Realmfighter]

Well, I'm of to headbutt the fall for a few hours.

Yeah, because he could then claim that, actually, there is evidence in the "no evidence for god" vs "evidence for god" debate.

Unfortunately, this'd lead to another "no evidence either way".

I feel like I should make a diagram of this.

I  feel like that diagram would be a portal to hell.
