immaterially
In unimportant ways
In a way that lacks importance or relevance to the matter at hand: Whether he intended harm or not, it matters immaterially to the outcome.
Less commonly, in a way that lacks physical substance—pertaining to spirit rather than matter.
The word is rare in either sense; *immaterial* as an adjective does most of the work.
