I think it may be either that, or "Positivism". From Grolier's
Encyclopedia,

"Modern philosophical atheism is based on both theoretical and
practical reasons. Theoretically, atheists argue either that there are no
good arguments for believing in the existence of a personal deity, whether
this deity be conceived of anthropomorphically or metaphysically, or that
the statement God exists is incoherent or meaningless. The last type of
logical criticism of theism is characteristic of logical positivism and
analytic and linguistic philosophy. Practically, some atheists have argued,
as did Nietzsche, that belief in a supernatural and supreme being requires
a devaluation of this life; or, as Freud did, that the belief is an
expression of infantile helplessness."
