Atheism is the belief that there are no Deities. Period. All other beliefs held by an Athiest are irrelevant to Atheism itself. That means an Athiest CAN believe in ghosts, afterlife or any other thing we typicaly associate with a religous belief.
As an atheist I can also believe in the possibility that there are beings in the Universe who are incredibly powerful, knowledgable or any other -able. What I don not believe is that these beings are in any way divine or SUPERnatural. Any thing or being that exists is by definition a part of reality and nature and so natural. I do not belive any being no matter how far advanced is entitled to my worship, adoration or submission. That, Finawin is atheism. It is not the belief that I know everything..or anything in fact.
