Many lines of philosophy could fit this description.
Existentialism: rejects the belief that life has an inherent meaning, but instead requires individuals to create meaning in the process of living their own lives authentically.
Humanism: rejects transcendental justifications, such as a dependence on faith, the supernatural, or divinely revealed texts. Humanists endorse universal morality based on human nature.
Atheism: Depending on who you talk to, it is either the positive belief that there is no god (a deliberate rejection of theism), or the simply the absence of belief in god.
Materialism: the belief that the only things that can truly be said to exist are material. All things are composed of matter and all events are the result of material interactions.
Skepticism: critically examines whether we can ever have true knowledge of anything.
I could add hundreds more philosophies to this list, but this should give you a pretty good idea of the sorts of non-religious philosophies out there.

Bertrand Russel "Why I am not a theist" (not atheist, a theist). Basically outlines the idea that Thomas Aquinas' belief that the existence of god is proved because everything we know has an origin, and as such, there must be a primary origin, which is god. Russell states that since everything we know has an origin, if we are to think logically, there can be no primary cause, because nothing can exist which doesn't first have an origin.

guy, sounds like you try to get the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition began all yet over again. it truly is why Christianity is as massive because it truly is today. The leaders and followers of the Crusades fairly a lot did precisely what you're describing, except for the murdering of the human beings who did not settle for the Christin faith area. yet inspite of the indisputable fact that, the global is replacing popular, you in no way understand what some loopy nut-pastime contained in the White abode will do next

The universe came into existence due to a scientific reaction.
The Big Bang theory, etc.
Life came into existence due to a scientific reaction.
Deoxyribonucleic-acid (DNA) is formed and begins to recreate copies of itself- hence implanting the base instincts of our survival, survive, reproduce and giving ones DNA the best chance as possible.
Mutations result in evolution, finally resulting in humans.
Hence, life was created by a chemical reaction and is a chemical reaction.
Everything you experience is simply a chemical reaction- rater shallow. Isn't it?

Yes, some philosophy is designed to tackle religions.
Take for example Judah's betrayer of Jesus. It is mentioned in the Bible that God planned for Jesus to die so his blood may wash our sins. If God planned for Him to die, He must also have planned His betrayal. So Judah is not a sinner, he is just part of God's plan to save mankind. However, Christians and Catholics dislike Judah so much.
This is one of the many paradoxes philosophers have pointed out.

nihilism- the belief that we are incapable of knowing any truth( sometimes includes the belief that there is no truth) The most famous philosopher associated with nihilism is Nietzsche who proclaimed that "God is dead. Therefore, I could be God"
