Godless

Godless describes a person, place, or thing lacking religious faith, or acknowledging or venerating no god. It implies the absence of belief in a deity or deities, and, by extension, often signifies a lack of moral or spiritual principles associated with religious belief. The term can be used descriptively, denoting a secular viewpoint, or pejoratively, implying a lack of virtue or a threat to societal values that religious institutions may support. It suggests an indifference, rejection of, or even hostility towards established religious dogma or practice. The term can also apply to systems, beliefs, or societies.
