Atheism is the theological position recorded in this atlas under the theology value atheistic, held by movements that reject or lack belief in deities. Wikipedia defines atheism, in the broadest sense, as an absence of belief in the existence of deities, and in narrower senses as a rejection of the belief that any deities exist or the position that there are no deities. It is distinct from the atheism religion-type entry, which records the movement rather than the position. It is recorded as its own position entity so that the religions and cults that hold it can be grouped and compared in one place, while each entry keeps its own theology facts and sources.
