apatheism is NOT the same as practical atheism. They are similar bur not the same.

"This definition of practical atheism focuses on the idea that one disregards belief in gods and the existence of gods in day-to-day living but doesn't necessarily reject the existence of gods when it comes to professed beliefs." http://atheism.about.com/od/Atheist-Dictionary/g/Definition-Practical-Atheism.htm

Note that it says "but doesn't necessarily reject the existence of gods when it comes to professed beliefs" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.111.41.206 (talk • contribs) 2016-11-20T14:35:06 (UTC)
