Buddhists have certain beliefs such as reincarnation and such (I don't that much about it) but essentially, they are atheists. Spiritual beliefs but godless all the same.

Thats an interesting point, and your right - atheism is regarding the existence of God not belief in the unprovable.

Would someone who believed there was no God be able to justify a belief in unicorns?
