Atheism can be either the rejection of theism, or the position that deities do not exist. In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities.
The term originated from the Greek (atheos), meaning "ungodly" or "deserted by the gods," which was derogatively applied to anyone thought to believe in false gods, no gods, or doctrines that stood in conflict with established religions. Today, about 2.3% of the world's population describes itself as atheist, while a further 12% is described as nontheist. About 65% of Japanese describe themselves as atheists, agnostics, or non-believers, and up to 48% in Russia. The percentage of such persons in European Union member states ranges between 6% (Italy) and 85% (Sweden).
Atheists tend toward skepticism regarding supernatural claims, citing a lack of empirical evidence.
Religious and spiritual belief systems such as forms of Buddhism that do not advocate belief in gods, have also been described as atheistic.
