This scientific tradition?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thales_of_Miletus

Or the scientific tradition of all humanity which predates history, which includes observing shit, guessing how shit works, then amending those guesses to account for unexpected outcomes?

Humans have been doing that as long as there have been humans, so that's a pretty extensive tradition. Were they atheists or theists? I don't think they were either because both labels would be anachronistic.
