I view atheism as a non-belief in the supernatural, with gods and deities referenced in the word because they are the most extreme examples.

An atheist who believes in ghosts or astrology or the Loch Ness Monster may still technically be an atheist, but they're just replacing fictional concepts with other fictional concepts. They may not believe in gods but they are just as irrational as any theist.
