If only, yet I have met atheists who believe in astrology, homeopothy, and reincarnation.

How does an atheist accept reincarnation, astrology, homeopathy if theres no evidence that these are possible, probable or true?

And how do they reconcile their open-minded gullability in relation to one form of woo with their dogmatic insistence on scientific rationalism and empirical evidence in relation to another? (God)

Looks and smells like hypocrisy to me.

WAIT!
Dont tell me. Let me guess.
Atheists can be hypocrites if they want.


The main point I cant understand is; atheist (A) thinks its OK to believe in reincarnation and still call themself an atheist
but atheist (B) says they dont believe in reincarnation because...---> insert text book atheist mantra here <--- and that is the same reason they give when defining their atheism. ("theres no evidence")
