A home for all Agnostics, Unitarians, Freethinkers, Humanists, Pantheists, Rationalists, Nontheists, Ethical Culturalists, Universalists and other free spirits in southeastern Luzon, the Philippines.

Legazpi City and Mayon Volcano

Apathetic Agnostics try to live up to our credo, "We don't know and we don't care". This refers to belief in the existence of a personal deity (a person or persons in the psychological sense, a god or gods created in the image of humans). While many of us would go beyond this to denying the possibility of a god who is the omnipotent creator of the universe who also allows the suffering in this world, or an infinite divinity who is petty and jealous and will only save those who subscribe to one of many belief systems, condemning all others to eternal punishment, we are not quite ready to deny the possibility of any spiritual or psychic being greater than ourselves. Apathetic Agnosticism comes from the Greek, 'a pathos' (without concern or feeling) and 'a gnosis' (without knowledge). Of course there are millions of apathetic agnostics in the world, but the very nature of our beliefs causes most of us not to feel impelled to take a stand on the issue or join a group. Some of us who find ourselves bombarded with Theistic entreaties or evangelism feel a need to have a position to fall back on and a support group of kindred spirits. Such is our Church, a place for renewal and support for Agnostics, Rationalists, Pantheists, Unitarians, Universalists, Humanists, Ethical Culturalists, Nontheists, Atheists, and other Freethinkers.

Bicol is the southeastern region of Luzon, the main island of the Philippines. Our headquarters is located in Legazpi City, the capital of Albay Province and the whole Bicol Region.

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use. Galileo Galilei

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear. Thomas Jefferson
