I recently read Battling the Gods: Atheism in the Ancient World which, whilst stretching things at times, explored the existence of atheist and semi-atheist thought in ancient Greece and Rome.

I am also aware of several atheistic and semi-atheistic traditions in India both spiritualistic, such as Jainism and Ajivika, and materialist, such as Charvaka. In addition Buddhism could be argued to be agnostic/transtheist.

I was wondering if anyone knew about any other historical schools of atheist thought in different cultures. I'd be interested in seeing a timeline which wanked atheist and non-theistic religions before or without the European enlightenment.
