This study has in consideration the three types of atheism: the agnostic atheism, which does not deny the existence of God, but neither rules it out; the nonreligious atheism, which does not believe in formal religions, but thinks there is a spiritual reality, and the nonbeliever atheism, which denies and rejects the existence of God.
