If it may assume the existence of spiritual beings, then, yes, it is.

You are confusing Atheists with Agnostics. Atheism is really the belief that there is no god, sInce his existence has neber been proved. There is literally nothing else that binds atheists. Agnostic people think that there might be something out there, but they don't think humans know what that is. So they merely assume or at least think the existence of spiritual beings is a posibbility. Atheist don't think that the existence of any spiritual being is possible. Thus simply believe that there is no god until his existence  is scientifically proven. Which has never been or will ever be proven.

No, I´m actually not. I know the difference, and I totally agree with you.  That´s why in my previous post I stated that if an atheist believes in the existence of spiritual beings, he´s not atheist at all. I just forgot to mention that it would be agnostic. Thanks for explaining it so flawlessly.

I was replying a post from someone else implying that atheists would accept/believe in  the existence of deities.... which is not accurate.
