text: how can you describe a person who doesn't believe in anything? i have a friend who dislikes thinkin about religion and spirituality and whatever...and you can't really say she's agnostic because she doesn't believe in a higher being. she refuses to think about, but she understands why people need religion.  she said she would just like to take everything in and not think about any of it. and we both have had experiences when someone has imposed their beliefs on us. but that hasn't deterred me in believing what i believe. i doubt if your friend truly dislikes "thinking about religion and spirituality" since she's willing to "take everything in". perhaps at this stage in her life she's still not ready to talk about her feelings on the subject.  give her some space to do so. wait until you are asked about your own spirituality, otherwise talk about other things instead.  meantime, to answer your question, she'd be considered as an atheist by your definition.  peace be with you!
