File under what joins us in some ways rather than separates us. Also a note to those who like to insist comments about atheism or by atheists have no place in this forum...
I am not quite sure I understand the last comment, be that as it may ...
Atheism in Hinduism is not a belief but is a school of philosophy by the Charavakas - materialists. It is part of the system and accepted as such. They do not believe in performing rites and rituals. Indian atheists are for most part the same. They simply do not perform any rites or worship. It is more about actions than about belief.
The Advaita school of philosophy is about Brhman, the one and only true reality, truth, existence. It does not create because it is existence itself, so no creator god. The world is a projection of the mind and is resolved back into Brhman at the end of time because Brhman is the only reality.
The Non-dual school of philosophy has a creator god, Brahma, and he creates the Word, not the world, he is Speech.
Dharma is the Right Order.
Devas are the powers that we see evidence of in the universe. The elements, the power of speech, the power of voice, the power of knowing - all these are honored and worshiped as devas.

Those real world facts are easily available with just a quick Google search, but instead, you used your ignorance to attack.
Because at the end of the day, you really do not care about the suffering that is happening in the world.
And for someone pretending to be a wise sage, that is a tragedy.
You think it good to be both arrogant and ignorant? Yes, I suppose you would.
