So, atheism is simply just going against existence of a God? I had to resort to wikipediaing to be sure, and it seems to say that as well. It's only relating to the rejection of deities, not ghosts/spirits etc. So, what category is a person that denies anything that isn't scientifically proved until new evidence comes to light called if atheism doesn't cover it?
