How about an "apatheist"? I mean as long as we indulge ourselves in this
kind of ad-hoc word invention game, we may as well make it sound like what we
mean. I can definitely see an apatheist not giving a damn about some
supernatural deity. The only problem . . . I can't see them caring enough to
make up a word for it. Sort of a dilemma there, dontcha think? If you care
enough to make up a word for it, you probably don't fit the description of
the word.
