apathist 

An apathetic atheist.

An Apathist believes there is no god or higher power and that all religions are false but at the same time has no need to debate the issues or prove that his / her point of view is uniquely correct.

Apathists generally sit in silence during theological discussions unless directly asked about their beliefs. When the apathist is asked, the answers are generally short, describe how their opinion won't make any real difference to the grand scheme of things and wonder why people waste so much time discussing religion.
Apathist: I don’t think there's a god but I also don't give a fuck. What is everyone else wasting their time on anyway? Do they think they'll magically get closure the millionth time they discuss this? Don’t they know they won’t get those hours and hours back?

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
