Imagine a world without organised religion, where it doesn’t affect people’s lives, but atheism still exists. What purpose would atheism fill in this scenario?

    one could frame my question also as what remains in atheism without anti-religion.

    A lack of belief in gods. Which is what atheism means. You can be an atheist and pro-religion. My mother is an atheist but still goes to temple every week.

    You really need to understand the meaning of the word.

    A = lack of

    Theism = belief in a god or gods.

    That’s all it is. A lack of belief in any gods.
