People can be an atheist and still believe in all sorts of crazy things. If we take atheism to be lack of belief in a god or gods, then yes, holding (for example) that homeopathy is true, or that there is a spiritual life stream of something, is true doesn't automatically mean one is not an atheist.

I know atheists who believe in ghosts...Ghosts.
