To me, there is pretty much inarguable proof Gods exist in this world, so the term "Atheist" as WE know it doesn't make any sense. That however doesn't mean that there are different versions of Atheism.
1. Someone from a country who doesn't know who the 12 are may not believe in Eorzea's Gods.
2. They believe what we know as the 12 is actually something else (Primals, Elementals, WHATEVER) and are not actually Gods.
3. They believe in the Twelve, but don't worship or revere them. Believing they have nothing to do with current, modern life.
I guess Hydalean would be the only one hard to dispute, but how common of knowledge is it that people are the "Chosen of Hydalean"? It could be easily hand waved away that she doesn't exist at all if a lot of people don't have knowledge of her? I'm not sure on Hydalean lore as a God though.
