A Christian is someone who reads the Bible and believes it is the inspired word of God.
An atheist is someone who reads the Bible and believes it is entirely the work of man.
I suspect that on most things we think in very similar ways, however, when it comes to the supernatural an atheist, such as myself, has a mechanism which cuts in and says "Hang on a minute, where's the evidence? Why would you think that's true? Isn't there a simpler or more logical explanation? That doesn't make sense though!" etc. etc.
For example, yesterday I read the first page of Mathew and at the very beginning it said that it was found that Mary was with child by the Holy Spirit!
The first thing I thought was, "Hang on. Who says? Were there any witnesses to this or are we just supposed to believe it because it was written in this book?"
