I'd use "materialist". I'm sure there are some philosophies out there that don't believe in gods but do have an idea of the immortal soul.

Do we have any Buddhists in the house?

(Yes, I know the Buddhist idea of the soul is not particularly similar to the Christian, but there is the idea of something surviving death under some circumstances...)
