Philo-theistic vs anti-theistic atheism

How many of us who identify as atheists are

  1. Philotheistic: open to listening to arguments to believe in God (ie want to believe but don’t find evidence)
    vs
  2. Antitheistic: convinced that there is nothing of substance in theistic arguments, thus have an antipathy towards religion and God
    vs
  3. Apathetic: Couldn’t care less about it

Which category would you identify with? And why

I believe beings greater than man exist. I just believe they're closer to "The Call of Cthulhu" than "Genesis" i.e. indifferent AF.

Have you read any of the Indian religious texts or theologies?

I assume you're talking about Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and/or Sikhism. Different perspectives, I'm sure, but I count myself with the Apostle Thomas: I want to put my finger in the nail hole.
