  • Apatheism: Engaging the Western Pantheon Of
    APATHEISM: ENGAGING THE WESTERN PANTHEON OF SPIRITUAL INDIFFERENCE By K. Robert Beshears Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Louisville, Kentucky [email protected] April 2016 Beshears 1 Introduction A few years ago, while living in Cambridge, England, I made a habit of meandering through the narrow, winding streets of the revered university town to soak in its rich heritage and architecture. On one such occasion, passing through the Market Square, I took notice of a Muslim missionary passing out some material. Most of his pamphlets made it into the hands of passers-by, but quickly ended their journey in the trash bin. Week after week, I watched the dejected man try in vain to spark any meaningful conversation about spirituality. After a few months, on one particularly soggy afternoon, I felt compelled to buy him a cup of coffee. I offered him the drink, to which he happily accepted. He asked me why he had received my kindness. I replied that Jesus would have done the same thing. “So, you’re a Christian?” he asked. I confirmed his suspicion. “Well, then, you know my pain,” he replied. Not believing that we had much in common when it came to converting people to Islam, I was a bit confused by his response. I asked him what he meant. “These people,” he said with a sigh, “they care nothing of God or spirituality. They are spiritually apathetic, totally indifferent to the biggest questions of life. They simply do not care. How can that be?” He was right; I had experienced the same thing.

Scholarly interest in atheists has grown together with their number, but unanswered questions abound. In this study, we present survey data (N = 758) collected from deconverted and lifelong atheists in four countries (Australia, Finland, Germany, and Norway), and investigate the relationships between deconversion, religious/spiritual identity, and attitudes towards the national religious majority, religious minorities in general, and Muslims in particular.

  • The Origins of Religious Disbelief
    Religious Disbelief 1 The Origins of Religious Disbelief Ara Norenzayan1 & Will M.

([email protected]) Word count: Text: 2550; Abstract: 106 In press, Trends in Cognitive Sciences Religious Disbelief 2 Abstract Although most people are religious, there are hundreds of millions of religious disbelievers in the world. What is religious disbelief and how does it arise? Recent developments in the scientific study of religious beliefs and behaviors point to the conclusion that religious disbelief arises from multiple interacting pathways, traceable to cognitive, motivational, and cultural learning mechanisms. We identify four such pathways, leading to four distinct forms of atheism, which we term mindblind atheism, apatheism, inCREDulous atheism, and analytic atheism. Religious belief and disbelief share the same underlying pathways that can be explained within a single evolutionary framework that is grounded in both genetic and cultural evolution. Religious Disbelief 3 The Existence and Prevalence of Disbelief Most people on the planet are deeply religious. Nonetheless, there is considerable individual and population variability in both commitment to gods as well as in behaviors that support belief in them [1,2]. Moreover, religious beliefs fluctuate across situations [3], across the lifespan [4], and across historical periods [5]. The worldwide prevalence of atheists is nontrivial, numbering over half a billion or possibly more (see Box 1). Religious disbelief has not received adequate scientific attention, and poses an interesting puzzle to evolutionary explanations that see religious beliefs and behaviors as integral components of human nature [6,7].

  • Apatheism from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Apatheism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Apatheism (a portmanteau of apathy and theism/atheism), also known as pragmatic atheism or (critically) as practical atheism, is 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. Apathetic agnosticism (also called pragmatic agnosticism) is the view that thousands of years of debate have neither proven, nor dis-proven, the existence of one or more deities (gods). This view concludes that even if one or more deities exist, they do not appear to be concerned about the fate of humans. Therefore, their existence has little impact on personal human affairs and should be of little theological interest.[1] History Historically, practical atheism was considered by some people to be associated with moral failure, willful ignorance, and impiety. Those considered practical atheists were said to behave as though God, ethics, and social responsibility did not exist; they abandoned duty and embraced hedonism. According to the French Catholic philosopher Étienne Borne, "Practical atheism is not the denial of the existence of God, but complete godlessness of action; it is a moral evil, implying not the denial of the absolute validity of the moral law but simply rebellion against that law."[2] In recent history (2000s onward), pragmatic atheism has been seen in a more positive light.

  • A Defense of Apatheism
    1 Not Caring About God Too Much: On Apatheism as Virtue By Randal Rauser ABSTRACT: In this article, I focus on the articulation and defense of the concept of apatheism as articulated in Jonathan Rauch’s influential essay “Let it Be.” While Christian critics of Rauch like Douglas Groothuis have interpreted him as commending an apathetic attitude toward God and religion, a closer reading suggests that Rauch is instead commending a conception of apatheism as restraint. And this concept comports well with Christian notions of pious engagement with others as well as exemplifying the self-control of Plato’s concept of enkrateia. The link between 9/11 and the new atheism is well-established.1 But that terrible day also spurred another lesser known response to religious zeal. I speak of the apatheist response celebrated by Jonathan Rauch in a pithy but very influential 2003 article in Atlantic Monthly simply titled “Let it Be.”2 Rauch begins this brief, 994-word essay in memorable fashion by recounting an occasion when he was asked to share his religious views: “‘I used to call myself an atheist,’ I said, ‘and I still don't believe in God, but the larger truth is that it has been years since I really cared one way or another. I’m’—that was when it hit me—‘an ... apatheist!’” 3 Rauch seems to suggest in this passage that he coined the term apatheism in that moment of hazy inspiration. In fact, the term predates Rauch’s usage.4 Nonetheless, Rauch’s brief discussion has 1 See Randal Rauser, You’re Not as Crazy as I Think: Dialogue in a World of Loud Voices and Hardened Opinions (Colorado Springs, CO: Biblica, 2011), 68-9.
