Can one be Atheist and Superstitious?

[Brian37]

I've have posted a couple new threads and found that I was very well educated in both argument and foolishness.

So I wanted to ask another question that is personal to me.

While I don't believe in any god or gods yet I don't reject the possibility that one or several may exist, does that make me foolish or disingenuous of claiming to be an atheist if I "knock on wood" and occasionally partake in superstitious thinking? Basically warding off bad luck, even if I have no understanding or belief that it will help but do so anyway under the pretense that it doesn't hurt to try?

I'd like to not misrepresent the community.

Our "community" is only common in the "off" position we use to denote god belief, nothing more.

So to answer your question, YES. Atheists can have other woo bullshit thoughts and superstitions.

I've run into atheists who believe 9/11 and JFK conspiracies. I know atheists who claim the universe is some sort of entity itself. I know other atheists who claim Gene Rodenbury invented the modern cell phone.

"Atheist" is strictly addressing the position an individual has on the existence of a god. It does not address their education level or or logic and reasoning skills.
