I understand that Atheism is a rejection of existence of God, or more broadly speaking (and correct me if I am wrong) rejection of all metaphysical realities. For example, Afterlife, Angels, Heaven/Hell, Satan, etc.

But what is the philosophical underpinning for rejection of God?

Is it Naturalism? Empiricism? Materialism?

Thanks.
The philosophical underpinning for rejection of God is the lack of worthwhile philosophical underpinning for God.

Metaphysical is by definition not reality.

It is the dumb fuck illusion that things made up in a lazy pretense of explaining an imperfectly known reality is more real than the reality it purports to explain.
