atheism, and several aspects of Satanism
Atheism is everywhere in modern society. There is no country in the world where atheists can not be found. In some European countries it is reported that more than half the population hold no religious beliefs. Atheism is less common in poor, emerging nations where some still hold on to ancient traditional beliefs, while others follow Christian missionaries who assert that atheism is not an option in a civilised country.
The earliest recorded atheistic beliefs are from around 1500BC - early Vedic beliefs denied the existence of gods.

No. In and of itself atheism is simply the absence of any belief in gods. It is a benign intellectual choice. Some people with strong religious beliefs may find that offensive but atheism itself is not the offender. Also, there may be some people who are atheists who are offensive but that is true of any group of people and is not caused by atheism but by human nature.

It's possible that Pi's religious beliefs may have been a response to his father's atheism, as people often form beliefs in contrast to those of their parents. Pi's exploration of multiple religions can be seen as a way to seek spirituality and meaning in his life, separate from his father's worldview. Ultimately, it is up to the reader to interpret the nuances of Pi's character and beliefs.
