Many atheists are [[skeptical]] of all [[supernatural]] beings and cite a lack of empirical evidence for the existence of deities. Others argue for atheism on philosophical, social or historical grounds. Many atheists tend toward secular philosophies such as [[humanism]] and [[naturalism]], but, as for theists, there is no one [[ideology]] or set of [[behavior]]s to which all atheists adhere. Some [[religion]]s, such as Jainism and [[Buddha|Buddhism]], do not require [[belief]] in a personal god.

The term ''atheism'' originated as a pejorative epithet applied to any person or belief in conflict with established religion. With the spread of freethought, scientific skepticism, and criticism of [[religion]], the term began to gather a more specific [[meaning]] and has been increasingly used for self-description by atheists.
