Middle Earth is still so closely linked to the Valar and still have Maiar wandering around that it would be strange to find people who are totally atheist. At the most you'd find people who are relaxed and perfunctory about how they believe, like I imagine Hobbits to be.
In Faerûn it's not just stupid to be atheist, but you'd be guaranteeing yourself to a terrible afterlife too. Everyone has a god they have chosen as a patron, and most will leave small offerings to some of the major ones who could affect everyday life, like Tymora (Good Luck), Beshaba (Bad Luck), Umberlee if they're going sailing (evil sea goddess) or Talos (god of storms).
Some worlds are set up specifically to have active background religions in them. How much in everyday life that affects the feature characters depends really on how much you care to show about how devout they are. You can make a passing mention of their morning or evening prayers, or they can be a zealous campaigner for their god, or their god could come up only as "Oh my god!" exclamations.
