I think when we say that as atheists, that it's possible to believe in other "supernatural" things while not believing in a god, comes down to a response to theists.
Often times we're hit with, "Oh, you're an atheist, so you don't believe in <insert concept here> either."
It's just a response to show that aliens, ghosts, dragons, whatever, etc, has nothing to do with atheism. Atheism means you don't believe in a deity, nothing more. This is just to prevent them from adding more meaning to the word that isn't there.
