Ignosticism or igtheism is the idea that the question of the
existence of God is meaningless because the word "
God" has no coherency and an ambiguous definition.
Ignosticism and
theological noncognitivism are similar although whereas the ignostic says "every theological position assumes too much about the concept of God",[1] the theological noncognitivist claims to have no concept whatever to label as "a concept of God",[2] but the relationship of ignosticism to other nontheistic views is less clear. While
Paul Kurtz finds the view to be compatible with both
weak atheism and agnosticism,[3] other philosophers[who?] consider ignosticism to be distinct.
^Conifer, Theological Noncognitivism: "Theological noncognitivism is usually taken to be the view that the sentence 'God exists' is cognitively meaningless."
^Kurtz, New Skepticism, 220: "Both [atheism and agnosticism] are consistent with igtheism, which finds the belief in a metaphysical, transcendent being basically incoherent and unintelligible."
