If followed to its logical end it concludes that the entire question about God's existence is a non-question and that taking a yes, no or even ambivalent position is absurd. The arguments ought to have well defined terms and the possibility of critical and rational analysis. Ignosticism is responding to God claims and possibly all supernatural claims through this particular approach to knowledge. The answer is invariably that they are non-questions not worth taking seriously.
Defining terms clearly is important for all rational debate. The subject of any argument should be coherently defined. If one offers a clear definition of an entity which is claimed to have certain properties and clear definitions of those properties then it is one step closer to being taken seriously. That is, there is a rational and logical method by which we can test that a subject has the qualities that have been claimed.
Experience shows that theists often propose God exists yet rarely offer a clear definition of God. Definitions such as "God is a concept we all hold in our hearts" are incomprehensible nonsense and non-definitions.
Those few occasions when God and his qualities are actually coherently defined they are usually outlandish such as "God is an all knowing and all powerful loving being that exists everywhere and in everything". It is difficult or impossible to test these claims as one has no reliable access to God nor any means to test how an entity is all loving and exists absolutely everywhere.
In rare cases believers offer a definition of God and his qualities which can be tested. For example "God is a shepherd which always saves believers from grave harm". If we find one case of a believer being subject to grave harm, it is enough to falsify the argument. In general, those rare times when falsifiable definitions of God are given, they are easily falsified. Experience shows that for the far majority of God debates, the conversations are pointless and time wasting. Infidel means an unbeliever, especially a nonbeliever in Islam or Christianity.

The original usage of the term was confined to philosophy and religion, and referred to Huxley's assertion that anything beyond the material world, including the existence and nature of God, was unknowable.
