[Objective]

Kind of confused @oats. I'm I, or threadstarters post, talking about getting the terminology wrong? I always assumed atheism was the complete lack of belief and 100% on scientific facts. There's a higher chance of aliens existing than not SOURCE, so atheists believing they exist kinda makes sense.

String theory and energies etc. comes to mind when we're talking about ghosts and spirits along with science, but they're still too far off to be labeled as anything else than hearsay in the atheist community. So I wouldn't label anyone believing in those sort of things as atheists.

Feel free to correct me.
