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.
The term ignosticism was coined in 1964 by Sherwin Wine, a rabbi and a founding figure of Humanistic Judaism.
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.
