[[Naturalism (philosophy)|Naturalism]] as a philosophical stance rejects the possibility of [[supernatural]] phenomena, describing such phenomena as misunderstood natural phenomena or falsehood. This preconception necessarily precludes the existence of God.
Although all [[Atheism|atheists]] deny the existence of [[God]], a significant portion of atheists do not strictly subscribe to the philosophy of naturalism (see: [[Atheists and supernatural beliefs]]).
