Non-theism is an umbrella term covering Deism, Agnosticism, Atheism and other views — anything that does not involve believing in a god or gods. For our Bible-based purposes in this wiki we rarely need to distinguish even between deism, agnosticism and atheism, let alone other views such as pantheism and panentheism.
Nevertheless it is wise not to make too many assumptions about so-called "atheistic science". This blog post by Christadelphian brother Stephen Snobelen gives helpful background about the language and thought of Einstein, Hawking, Carl Sagan and others whose thinking does not fit easily into the categories listed here.
The Wikipedia page on Nontheism gives much more detail!
