Not sure how they figure in Abrahamic religions but Atheism is accepted within some religious and spiritual belief systems including Hinduism. They prescribe to a different philosophy altogether and their beliefs are considered another type of philosophy. Take the charvakas of ancient India for example. Hinduism holds atheism to be a valid but difficult to follow philosophy. Some sects /forms of Buddhism do not prescribe a belief in God too. So for a part of the world atheists can be included under the umbrella of religions IMO.
According to one estimate, atheists make up about 2.3% of the world’s population, while a further 11.9% are nonreligious.

Interesting. Abrahamic religions don’t accommodate atheistic views. It seems, when it comes to concept of God, they try to be specific and avoid creating religion within religion.
