Sure.  Anyone who isn't a theist is an atheist.  That includes many people who believe in ghosts.  


Quote:I don't believe in anything outside the physical realm but an atheist friend, who I consider an intelligent person, shared a pretty creepy story with me recently and bear in mind, he's not sympathetic to religion or anything related to the supernatural.  

The problem is, if one subscribes to the supernatural, then that would be the category where a god could possibly exist.  

What are your thoughts?

Atheism consists entirely of not believing in gods.  It does not consist of not believing in anything compatible with gods.
