Apatheism

Religion founded in the 19th century by Angelo Manfredi. Angelo Manfredi was born in Crotone, Italy in 1864 ad. He travled to India with his father in 1888 to study Hinduism and Buddhism. He adopted their belief in reincarnation but not karma. Manfredi believed that the only way to liberate the soul from the cycle of death and rebirth is to become detached from all moral and material values. Eventually he and his father were cast out of india because of their ammoral practicies such as alcoholism and beastiality. Manfredi returned to Crotone, Italy in 1892. he began preaching his doctrines on the streets of Crotone and soon developed a small cult following there. The men were known for dressing up as women and the women men, and for their reckless drunken behavior. The Apatheists toured all over Italy attracting diciples as well as public scorn wherever they went. When Mussolini came to power in 1922, Manfredi and his followers were some of the first intellectuals to be executed by the Fascist regime. Manfredi was hanged naked in Rome, 1924. Though the cult mostly died off during the 20's, 30's, and 40's, it was resurrected by Giordano Scarlatti in Naples, 1955. Scarlatti mixed Manfredi's doctrines with some of the ideas of Arthur Schopenhauer and Friedrich Nietzsche. It was estimated to have about 10,000 followers in 1999, mostly in America and Italy. It's headquarters are in Rome.

Apatheism is the one true religion.

apatheist

someone who doesn't care whether or not there is a god or an afterlife

Deists and Theists: Nothing can exist without a cause. Therefore, the universe must have a cause and that cause is God.
Atheists: Does God exist without a cause? If so, you've contradicted your own premise. Your God answers nothing.
Apatheists: Does it really fucking matter?

r/atheism

An organized system of beliefs, cultural systems, world views, ideas, and ideals that relate humanity to an order of existence without god. The religion of atheism crowd-sourced under the church of reddit. A sermonizing vanity project that practices ritualistic circlejerking of pseudo-philosophical platitudes originating primarily on facebook. A self-celebrating, fedora wearing scene of experts on Occam's razor. Ontological superfluity.

redditor 1: "What's r/atheism?"

redditor 2: "Oh, you mean that church of religious zealots that downvote any reference to god?"

redditor 1: "Yeah, prepare to be shadowbanned."

apatheist

Someone who just doesn't care whether God exists or not and realizes that such a fact won't effect their life anyway, comes from the word 'apathy' meaning "absence of emotion" and 'theism' meaning "belief in God"

Susan: "Are you an Atheist? Agnostic? Theist? What???"

Ryan: "None of the above, I really just don't give a shit"

Susan: "So what are you then?"

Ryan: "An apatheist because, like I said, I just don't give a shit and wonder why anyone else does too"
