Ignosticism

Ignosticism (sometimes called apathetic agnosticism or apatheism) is the view that the question of the existence of deities is meaningless because it has no verifiable consequences, and should therefore be ignored. The term was coined by Rabbi Sherwin Wine, founder of The Society for Humanistic Judaism. For most purposes, this view may be considered a form of agnosticism, although it bears closer resemblance to nontheism.

The defining question for an ignostic (apathetic agnostic) is: How would you behave if it were proved beyond a doubt that there is - or is not - a God? The answer would be, "I would have no reason to act any differently."
