Atheism features in several religions and spiritual belief systems, including Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Neopagan movements such as Wicca, Unitarian Universalism and other nontheistic or non-dogmatic religions. Not to be misunderstood, atheism is not a foundational belief in all of these religions, but exists as an option or requirement within at least some part of each of these religions. There are minority atheist movements in religions that are typically considered monotheistic, such as [[Christian atheism]].

There is nothing specific about atheism, by itself, that tells you how you should live. However, there ''are'' comprehensive philosophical positions that include atheism as a part of the overall philosophy ([[Humanism]] being the most well-known example).

Atheism is closely related to [[agnosticism]], which indicates a person considers the question of the existence of God as undetermined, or the question cannot be determined at all. [[Ignosticism]] is the position that the concept of God has not yet been defined coherently, so the existence of God cannot be discussed meaningfully.
