Precursor of Atheism: Causal Closure

Precursor of Atheism: Causal Closure
The thesis of causal closure is that every physical effect is fixes by a fully physical prior history.

In nearly every thread, I notice that atheistic positions can be traced back to either an explicit philosophical commitment or tacit acceptance of causal closure. It makes me wonder, how many atheists of our community subscribe to the thesis of causal closure.
