And, besides, there are tens of a priori conlangs, that is made up from your own
fantastic dreams, pulled out from the air, designed for alien extraterrestrials
etc.

I think any language, whether natural or constructed, is tied to a certain
culture. And no culture is basicly atheistic - that's the human nature. But if
you want a lang that reflects a society where at certain moment they decided to
do away with religion (like post-revolutionary France or Communist Albania) -
give a try! Go-seikoo wo inorimasu!
