Atheism refers to the spiritual and religious concept of the lack of a god or deity. 
==History of Atheism==
Technically, Atheism has always been present in human history, as there has always been at least one group without belief in gods. However, the earliest dated forms of disbelief in dieties comes from various sects in Hinduism in historical India. It is thought that Atheists did exist in the Muslim world during the Middle Ages, but no specific Atheists can be identified. Small Atheist pockets did exist in Medieval Europe as well. However, Atheism began to rise significantly in the modern age when many governments started becoming more secular, and public displays of Atheism became more common. 
==Political Atheism==
Atheism is sometimes associated with Marxism due to Karl Marx denouncing religion as a tool of the state. In classical Marxist theory, Atheism is stateless. However, in modern pseudo-communist nations, Atheism is commonly enforced by the state.
