I've been reading The Wide Wide Sea about Capt. Cook, listening to history podcasts, and have done other readings about Europeans meeting people in a "newly discovered" place. Often there is something about observing some type of religious ceremony. This got me wondering are there any known societies that didn't pray to or believe in some type of greater creator or engage in worship? I don't mean like an individual atheist, I'm referring to a whole society that eschewed any belief or practice of a greater power.
Thanks
