no concept of atheism in Hindu civilization

There was no concept of atheism in Hindu civilization. Naastiks, followers of Charvak philosophy were outcasted and looked down upon. And Charvak is not Hinduism. It's just a philosophical commentry. A faith which entertains atheism is bound to fail at some point of time!

Exactly. The ancient romans actually had to create some of these new terms like "atheist" to describe the Christians. Also, Christians accused romans of being "atheists" or nonbelievers in their plagiarized Jehovah. Atheism was a category within christianity in the ancient period and was conjured up again during the Enlightenment when Christians contacted heathens in Asia and the New World. Atheism is an extreme form of monotheism.
