Some members of the Unitarian Universalist denomination and the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) are atheists. There are even Humanistic and atheist Jews.

That really depends on the branch of Hinduism, actually. There are certainly some branches which a lack of emphasis of belief in deities, but there are others that very strongly emphasize not only believing, but having a personal connection to certain deities. Also, in certain places where Hinduism is the dominant religion, there is massive social pressure to believe and to demonstrate belief in everyday life along with good deeds, just as there is in certain places where Christianity dominates. It may be accepted by religious texts to be an "atheist", but in many places it is most certainly not socially sanctioned, or wasn't when my grandmother still lived in India at least. Granted this was years ago, but generally that part of the country is fairly conservative, so I doubt there's been a complete overhaul of religious institutions there.

Baha'i religion, but I think all religions are accepting the atheism is just that some people are confusing religion with their own feelings/emotions or unfortunately suffered from too much indoctrination.
"God is the Father of all. He educates, provides for and loves all; for they are His servants and His creation. Surely the Creator loves His creatures."
"For supposing the Church did unite, what then would we do with our brothers the Jews, our brothers the Muslims, our brothers the
Hindus, and our brothers the atheists? Are these to be considered as outside our body? No! The day has come for the falling of all barriers: social, national, religious."

Ok , I'm having my final exams by January. So I keep on praying to the god “ please give me the best , I’m a very good true to life person”
Do you think he can get me a “ A” Ok , If he cant help me ..why should I'll pray for him.
Ok ok its like this . . If I know all the answers very well and still I want to pray for him?
And the others also keep praying to him.....what will be our final results?
Ok ok if I know the whole questions and answers for my exam. Why I need god’s help.
Do you know any one who have passed an exam without knowing anything about the subjects but only with the help of god ?
This will apply for all the other reasons which you think that you should pray.

Buddhism, Judaism. Well Buddhism is more of a philosophy than a religion. You have religious Taoism as well that accepts atheism.

Buddhism dosen't preach of higher powers, it is left either a mystery, or is irrelevant, depening on how you take the Buddha's teachings. He found his answers without any blind faith, through many years of deep meditation.
Buddhism believes in afterlives, as many of us believe in reincarnation, revealed to us through meditation. How is Buddhism not a religion?
