Yeah it is.
A person who believes in a god but doesn't worship it is not an atheist.
Quote:The Shinto are considered Atheists, they believe in spirits. The Buddhists believe in reincarnation, some Buddhists believe in spirits. They are considered Atheists.
Do either of these groups believe in spirit beings that live above the clouds and sometimes come down and give commands to humans? If not, we're talking apples and oranges.
Quote:You are confusing Western Naturalism with literal Atheism.
No I'm not. As you note, a person could believe in reincarnation, but not in any god. Such person would be an atheist, but not a naturalist. The issue isn't that I don't understand the difference. The issue is that these people are neither atheists nor naturalists.
