Isn’t that pretty much the textbook definition of agnosticism?
Technically, there are -- at least according to the somewhat-knowing-Wiki -- several types of Agnosticism:
- Strong Agnosticism: The firm belief that God's existence is unknowable, one way or the other, as there can never be objective proof.
- Weak Agnosticism: Not knowing whether God or not exists, but withholding judgment until such time as evidence, if available, becomes available.
- Apathetic Agnosticism: Not knowing whether or not God exists and not finding the question of interest, as their existence has little impact on human affairs.
One can also be an agnostic theist, which is believing in God, but not claiming surety that God exists; it is also sometimes defined as knowing God exists but -- as God is unknowable -- not claiming to know the nature or essence of that God.
I identify as apathetic agnostic.
