Castle, google Cavarka or Thales. People rejected the notion of the supernatural and god(s) (redundant I know, but some people separate these two) before Darwin was a twinkle in his parents eyes. In fact, atheism predates christianity and islam. It most definitely predates our current crop of "new age" bullshit. Those are just the first two on record, but you best believe that some uncle OG way back in the paleolithic preferred to hunt his food rather than pray for it. Doubt isn't a recently evolved trait.
Amusingly, most of the classic arguments against the worlds current religions predate those religions themselves and were formulated to discredit a previous crop of religions. Evidentiary arguments are relatively new, and this is mostly due to our inability to actually sort this stuff prior to working out such a wonderful method of investigating the world around us. If it's enlightenment you're after, you have to do the work. You wont find it by inventing faeries (of any kind) to fill the air around you.
