Theological noncognitivism is the argument that religious language, and specifically words like "God" (capitalized), are not cognitively meaningful. Some thinkers propose it as a way to prove the nonexistence of anything named "God". Others, without respect the existence question, feel freer to think and talk about their idea of "God" and find renewed communal spirituality despite or perhaps because of a lack of "language agreement". It is sometimes considered to be synonymous with Ignosticism.
