You think lots of silly things. An atheist is a person who doesn't believe in gods. You think that there are some people who don't believe in gods...who believe in gods..?
Can you spot the problem in that brilliant suspicion of yours?
I think there are some deceptive people that actually believe in a God or gods and just don't like Him or them that call themselves atheists. May not be a lot but I think there are some out there. It seems to obvious and some really smart people seem not to get it.
I know there are some of us who believe in 'something more', but to describe that as anything god-like seems a stretch. If I like a theist I'll sometimes use 'god' as a place holder for what I really think accounts for the 'something more' in order to explore common ground. But the something more I at least have in mind is more akin to 'human potential' or untapped human capacities which are entirely natural. The supernatural as a category is a non-starter as far as I'm concerned, something best ignored until at least one noncontraversial exemplar for the category is demonstrated.
