远神论（Apatheism，取自apathy与atheism） 又称为实用主义无神论，指的是一种对有神概念敬而远之的无神论态度，还包括对信仰的冷漠，无知以及对各类神祇的兴趣缺乏。

在西方的历史上，实用主义无神论通常会和道德缺失，无知，以及不敬等负面评价联系在一起。一些人认为实用主义无神论者无视神祇，以及相应的道德体系与社会规范；其在本质上是享乐主义。例如法国天主教哲学家艾蒂·伯恩（Étienne Borne）说过：“实用主义无神论并不是对神存在的否认，而是在行为中完全无视神的存在；这是邪恶的，因为其本质并非否认绝对权威的来源，而是故意地违抗它。” 在当代，实用主义无神论被视为是时代进步的现象，而不再是一种道德上的缺失。

Apatheism (/ˌæpəˈθiːɪzəm/ a portmanteau of apathy and theism/atheism), also known as pragmatic atheism or practical atheism, is acting with apathy, disregard, or lack of interest towards belief or disbelief in a deity or deities.

An apatheist is someone who is not interested in accepting or denying any claims that gods exist or do not exist. An apatheist lives as if there are no gods and explains natural phenomena without reference to any deities. The existence of gods is not rejected, but may be designated unnecessary or useless; gods neither provide purpose to life, nor influence everyday life, according to this view.
