There isn't one. Atheism is a lack of belief in god(s)period. Nothing else is implied or may be inferred.

"As an atheist" I have no opinion on the Tao. As a skeptic, I have no problem with some of philosophical concepts,such as pragmatism and the idea that (as an ideal) life should be peaceful and filled with joy. However,I do not believe that each person is a microcosm of the universe. Nor in the pre scientific concepts of yin/yang and the five elements. Taken as a whole;a mixture of tradition,myth and superstition,like religions everywhere.
