- Satanism depends of the Satanists but Satanism is a philosophy not a religion

- Confucianism- I already addressed this Confucianism makes no sense without deities
- Shinto-Amaterasu isn't a goddess?
- Taoism- Has gods just no creator god
There corrected none of these religions exclusively reject the premise of a god all have either historically had gods and worship of them
Satanism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism
Quote:LaVey espoused the view that "god" is a creation of man, rather than man being a creation of "god". In his book, The Satanic Bible, the Satanist's view of god is described as the Satanist's true "self"—a projection of his or her own personality—not an external deity.
Buddhism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism
Quote:Pratityasamutpada, also called "dependent arising, or dependent origination", is the Buddhist theory to explain the nature and relations of being, becoming, existence and ultimate reality. Buddhism asserts that there is nothing independent, except the state of nirvana. All physical and mental states depend on and arise from other pre-existing states, and in turn from them arise other dependent states while they cease. The 'dependent arisings' have a causal conditioning, and thus Pratityasamutpada is the Buddhist belief that causality is the basis of ontology, not a creator God nor the ontological Vedic concept called universal Self (Brahman) nor any other 'transcendent creative principle'. However, the Buddhist thought does not understand causality in terms of Newtonian mechanics, rather it understands it as conditioned arising. In Buddhism, dependent arising is referring to conditions created by a plurality of causes that necessarily co-originate a phenomenon within and across lifetimes, such as karma in one life creating conditions that lead to rebirth in one of realms of existence for another lifetime.
Jainism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jainism
Quote:Jainism (/ˈdʒeɪnɪzəm/ or /ˈdʒaɪnɪzəm/), traditionally known as Jain Dharma,is an ancient Indian religion belonging to the Śramaṇa tradition. The central tenet is non-violence and respect towards all living beings. The three main principles of Jainism are ahimsa ("non-violence"), anekantavada ("non-absolutism"), and aparigraha ("non-possessiveness").
Quote:Jain texts reject the idea of a creator or destroyer God and postulate an eternal universe.
Confucianism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confucianism
Quote:Confucianism is definitively pantheistic, nontheistic and humanistic, in that it is not based on the belief in the supernatural or in a personal god that doesn't impact reality.Shinto
http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Shinto
Quote:Shinto does not require any profession of faith, nor does it have any systematic doctrine. There are no scriptures or holy works associated with Shinto, only various myths, long-held traditions, and a general overarching understanding of how the world works and what human roles within that world should be. Most of the people who actively practice Shinto (as opposed to just going to festivals, or doing folk magic because "it's what mom did") are also Buddhists. Unlike most Western religions, the basic tenets of Shinto are compatible with any other belief system. The majority of people who practice Shinto self-identify as "atheist".
Taoism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoism
Quote:Taoism can be defined as pantheistic*, given its philosophical emphasis on the formlessness of the Tao and the primacy of the "Way" rather than anthropomorphic concepts of God. This is one of the core beliefs that nearly all the sects share.
*Pantheism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheism
Quote:Pantheism is the belief that all reality is identical with divinity, or that everything composes an all-encompassing, immanent god. Pantheists thus do not believe in a distinct personal or anthropomorphic god.
