Atheism in Hinduism Atheism (Sanskrit: निरीश्वरवाद , "nir-īśvara-vāda" , lit. "statement of no Lord", "doctrine of godlessness") or disbelief in God or gods has been a historically propounded viewpoint in many of the orthodox and heterodox streams of Hindu philosophies. In Indian philosophy, three schools of thought are commonly referred to as "nastika" for rejecting the doctrine of Vedas: Jainism, Buddhism and Cārvāka. Though "nastika", meaning heterodox, refers to the non-belief in the Vedas rather than non-belief in God, all these schools also reject the notion of a creator god.
