Sure, I mean I don't think there is a hard and fast definition. That's kind of my point here, to try and see if there is a minimum standard we could all agree on
Atheists can still believe in supernatural bullcrap, just not the god variety. I don't understand any religions, so atheistic ones are no more stupid to me. They could for example posit that the universe is eternal, so wasn't created, but some supernatural something-or-other runs everything behind the scenes to keep it going.
Of course what is and isn't a "God" isn't well defined either. So it gets murkier still.
