Physicalism is a monistic ontology: one ultimate substance exists, and it exists as a physical reality. Physicalism can incorporate the non-matter based physical phenomena, such as light and energy, into its view that only physical entities with physical powers exist, and that science defines and explains what those are. | Physicalism is a monistic ontology: one ultimate substance exists, and it exists as a physical reality.

Naturalism is also used by atheists to describe the metaphysical view that everything that exists is fundamentally natural, and that there are no supernatural phenomena. Naturalism focuses on how science can explain the world fully with physical laws and through natural phenomena. It's about the idea that the universe is a closed system. Naturalism can be interpreted to allow for a dualist ontology of the mental and physical. | Naturalism is also used by atheists to describe the [[metaphysics|metaphysical]] view that everything that exists is fundamentally natural, and that there are no supernatural phenomena.
