I think your (Edward's) generalisations about 'atheists' as a group (choosing that label) are true. The similarities with religion fascinates me, & not in a derogatory way.
Yes the definition of atheist is simple, yet people adopting the label can hold an infinite number of ideas, within reason. Much like religion.
I empathise closely on a couple of things. I knew a gay minister, who told me that God made him that way. I believed him when he said that. I often put to theists the question: who are we to judge what God made?
I too am uncomfortable with flirting or being flirted with. I'm pretty single minded about family and relationships. It's just a closed book with me. I don't worry about it.
I have precognitive dreams too. It's not my nature to get so technical with that. It's been hard keeping a level head.
I agree with you that supernatural is nonsensical. If God is other dimensional that would also be natural. Or is supernatural correctly interpreted just what we don't yet understand as natural?
Welcome, by the way
