I know that some atheists do believe in stuff like spirits and reincarnation, just not in a god or gods. The Raëlian movement for example.
Why do you use irrational and based on flimsy evidence in the same context? They are not the same. Life is irrational.
Also, occult forces are hardly any more irrarional than any other belief that humankind has ever possesed. Communism for instance; compleatly irrational and based on humankinds better nature. Was never going to work.
