No, not really. It's moreof like a neutral athiest. I'm not actively going around saying "THERE'S NO GOD", I'm just hunky dory the way things are. The proving of or disproving of any God would have no effect on me. Slight technical difference ;D

Thank you for admitting that you are an atheist.
Atheism doesn't classify those who try to disprove some deity--that's the hardcore atheists' job. Atheists just don't believe that deities exist.
Thank the square for admitting it's a rectangle. Apatheist is a portmanteau of apathy and atheiem/theism. While you may be TECHNICALLY correct, they're different. We call squares squares, not rectangles.
I realize this post may be entirely unintelligible, and I may completely agree with you in he morning, but bare with me, it's 12:07 AM. Carry on.

It's clear, and completely sensible. You're both an atheist and an apatheist but apatheism describes your beliefs more closely so you use that term.
I don't at all want every non-theist to call himself an atheist, I just want to stop this ridiculous "I don't like some atheists and don't wanna be associated with them so i'm gonna say ridiculous shit, like that Dawkins = Pope and pretend to have the higher ground" bullshit.

"What do you think? A man had two sons. And he went to the first and said, 'Son, go and work in the vineyard today.' And he answered, 'I will not,' but afterward he changed his mind and went. And he went to the other son and said the same. And he answered, 'I go, sir,' but did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?"
I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.[

The Bible wrote:When Jesus heard his answer, he said, "There is still one thing you haven't done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
Hey that sounds nice.
