Scheme and Clojure don't have the atom type predicate - is this by design?

Common LISP and Emacs LISP have the atom type predicate. Scheme and Clojure don't have it. http://hyperpolyglot.wikidot.com/lisp

Is there a design reason for this - or is it just not an essential function to include in the API?
