Apatheism is so basic, even non-human animals and plants practice it. "Observe how the lilies of the field grow, they do not toil nor do they spin." That's because they do not care, either.

Believe it or not, this has already been claimed by Islam. Plants and animals practice Islam by following their true nature to the fullest. I don't think the question of whether they care or not has been discussed.

By they way -- is it "uh-pay-thee-ist" or "ah-path-ee-ist?"

Hmm, weird. I'm all for not caring, but it's not really an ontological position. (My god-belief litmus test is to do a s/god/unicorns/. I don't care about discussions about whether unicorns exist or not, because that's pretty damn pointless. I have a pretty clear ontological stance, though. In fact, the effort to make that page shows more interest in the problem on the part of its author than I have.)

There was a professor back at Maryland who wore a t-shirt that said "I don't know and I don't care"
