On the other hand, maybe they don't believe in any god, but do believe in the supernatural - they would still technically qualify as atheists.

- BackBackBack 7y agoYou are being downvoted because people have problems separating the two since they've been so tightly coupled for millennia at least in western civilization. But you are right, nothing in "atheism" prohibits someone believe there is an afterlife, or ghosts, or reincarnation, etc. Atheism just means you don't believe in gods; with a little imagination an afterlife can still exist without any overlords.
