It doesn't stop you from holding any other sort of belief, even if they are woo.

Vex, how did you come to believe what you believe?
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech 
I'll sign up but only if I get 20% of gross revenue, my pick of the women and only have to put in an appearance every other Thursday in months that start with an A for no more than 30 minutes each time.

Hi SilentVex,
I have trouble with the word Aether, can I call it Arthur instead? ArthurFlow has a nice ring to it.....
It's not immoral to eat meat, abort a fetus or love someone of the same sex...I think that about covers it

Or if it's really up to me. If you don't believe in gods, you're an atheist. You don't lose that label just because you believe some things without evidence. Labels don't really matter so much.

I'm hoping the lovely folks out there could help me a little bit with this. Atheism do not stipulate or have any requirements relating to how you arrive at your assertion that you do not believe in the existence of any deity(s). So, yes. You can call yourself atheist without fear of contradiction. MM
"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions" - Leonardo da Vinci
"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)  RE: A little bit of a personal crisis
