It's interesting that in the ancient Roman empire, in the first century A.D., early Christians were seen as atheists. Why? Because they had no visible gods.
The Roman pantheon comprised of hundreds of visible gods who were appeased and worshiped as part of everyday Roman culture. Christians, on the other hand, worshiped the risen Jesus, an "invisible god."
Not much has changed today. Atheism isn't "worshipping no god"; it's worshipping visible gods while rejecting the one, true, living, invisible God.
