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.
