    Apathist and Aetheist.
    Just asking, for what does apathy and aetheist mean again?

    I remmeber something about one being not sure whether there is a god or deity, and the other being sure that there's no deity and living happily. I want to find out what I'm considered as.

    I currently do not believe in anything, and being a bit of a science lover, don't intend to. (no offense meant in any way!! )

    Have you thought of using a dictionary?

    Apathy means lack of interest or concern. Apathy has nothing specific to do with religion. An Atheist is someone who doesn't believe in God.

    agnostic
    1. One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
    2. One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.

    atheist
    One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods.

    The Atheist is one who revels in the universe as it is, without belief in superstition, mythology, or fairy tales. To an Atheist, science is a source of inspiration, and a mystery is something to be solved, not to be worshiped.

    The Apathist is one who does not know if superstition, mythology, or fairy tales is true or not, but really does not care. The apathist equally views the of the atheist, the agnostic, the believer, and the fanatic as inconsequential because it does not affect his/her life in any way, shape, or form.
