I grew up Christian and was turned off by the dogma in my fundamentalist church, however I was left wanting to believe in some form of divine being because this was a major part of my upbringing and shaped my early experience with the world. Later I became interested in Buddhism because of its ties to spirituality without directly affirming an existence of god. 

Is it possible to be spiritual but not religious, and if so could someone still be considered an atheist?

 Possible? Yes.

------and be taken seriously by atheists? Not by this atheist. I can't speak for others.

Reasoning; I don't believe in gods due to lack of proof.

I also do not believe in the soul, the devil, angels, demons, the after life, the paranormal, fortune telling, trolls, dragons   and fairies at the bottom of my garden for the same reason------ that all comes under the general heading of 'woo'-
