An apathetist is someone who instead of believing in the existence or non-existence of God, simply chooses not to give a flying rat's arse on the subject. They are freed from the delusion of religion; freed from the smugness of atheism; and freed from the indecision of agnosticism.
In a conversation about God, they will be the person who nods politely, then listens to their iPod until the conversation is over.

Religious: "Praise the Lord!! I live and breathe for Jesus!!"
Atheist: "I am just a bunch of chemicals whose life has absolutely no meaning. But dammit I won't rest until everyone else feels the same way!"
Agnostic: "There's no proof either way. Oh look there's a nice fence I'll go sit on!"
Apathetist: "Meh."

Distance yourself from r/Atheism and the stereotype all atheists are whiny intolerant assholes who poke fun at innocent theists. Yes, there are some atheists that act like that, but the average atheist (think next door neighbour) is not like that.
Atheism is often associated with Nihilism. In some ways they are very similar, such as the rejection of religion. But there are other philosophical paths that do not involve religion, just as good as each other.

Get the Sun Worshipping Atheism mug.The recognition of every individuals' corporal apparatus that allows each to believe whatever they want. It classifies religion into tools for specific uses and divides them into categories with comparison and correlation of similar elements and uses. It places the person above all belief and shuns the use of a single tool(Religion) over another, in respect for the multitude of tools available, and their specific uses.
If Christianity/Islam/Zoroastrianism/Etc. are ways to contact higher intelligence, then Alltheism is the container that houses every belief.
When thinking of Religion each have a specific time frame they are active. If God is an infinite being then the element of "Time" becomes equal for all Religions. The narrative presented in each religion then must satisfy all people in all times, Past, Present, and Future.

Christian: I believe Jesus is the only way to heaven.
Alltheist: So do I.
Muslim: I believe in Allah.
Alltheist: So do I.
Christian/Muslim: This is impossible. You can't believe in both at the same time.
Alltheist: I can because I believe in you first, then your beliefs. If you can present a coherent argument as to why you believe in what you believe then I believe the same because Alltheism is the belief in your body's apparatus to determine what you believe. If your apparatus is working, with no faults, then belief in the person/apparatus is paramount.
