Apatheism

I found a great new word today: Apatheism. Wikipedia defines it as
acting with apathy, disregard, or lack of interest towards belief, or lack of belief in a deity. Apatheism describes the manner of acting towards a belief or lack of a belief in a deity; so applies to both theism and atheism. An apatheist is also someone who is not interested in accepting or denying any claims that gods exist or do not exist. In other words, an apatheist is someone who considers the question of the existence of gods as neither meaningful nor relevant to his or her life; nor to human affairs.

I love it! I called my mother to inform her there's a label for her. She loved it, too.

Whose mother is completely mystified as to why her youngest would want to study theology.
