Can one be Atheist and Superstitious?
#14
RE: Can one be Atheist and Superstitious?
Atheism is a specialised subset of scepticism, keyed to one topic only - the existence of gods. Everything else is up for grabs as far as atheism goes; and no other determination can be drawn from identifying with such. To that end, you will find atheists who believe in ghosts, UFOs, the antivax movement, that NASA and Kubrick staged the Moon landings, etc etc etc...

As long as the god hypothesis isn't the issue, atheism isn't a factor.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
