The Romans were the first atheists to be so called.
That is amusing because Christianity wanted to reverse itself in to one or two Roman Gods.
Christianity has many many varying creeds and churches, and some of these even deny that Jesus is a god, or even the son of a god. I can think of several but I have read that there are thousands.
I expect that there are many ideas about deism, and this morning I discovered that there are spiritual atheists out there which I linked Jim to. I can only present my own opinions, and like most atheists I don't have beliefs, but I do have ideas....and they are mine.
