[edit] Adjective

apathetic (comparative more apathetic, superlative most apathetic)

1. Void of feeling; not susceptible of deep emotion; passionless; indifferent.
2. Can also refer to Apatheism, a portmanteau expression of atheism and apathy, also known as pragmatic or practical atheism, a subset of atheism (when atheism is defined as lack of belief in deities, rather than specific disbelief in deities). An apatheist is someone who is not interested in accepting or denying any claims that God, or any other supernatural being, exists or does not exist. In other words, an apatheist is someone who considers the question of the existence of God as neither meaningful nor relevant to human affairs.
