Sorry... shoulda done this first, but I googled apatheist, and got a pretty good definition: http://atheism.about.com/library/glossary/general/bldef_apatheist.htm

I don't claim to have invented the term, but I believe it's a merging of the two words apathy and theist.... indicating we just don't think it matters whether there is a god or not.... we're apathetic about it. Dunno if the word has ever been used outside this tribe....

Hi y'all, I just joined this tribe. While the single tenet at the heart of "apatheism" is a (non)belief I have long espoused, I have never seen this term before. What is its source? Who coined it? I have to admit my knowledge of Greek is minimal. How is the prefix apa- different from the more common apo- in this usage?
