Let us clear this once and for all. . .
Atheism means only one thing and that is exactly what you posted on your op
DISBELIEF IN DEITIES and that is all. . .
you can believe that big foot exist, spiderman exist, unicorns, vampires exists. . . the only thing that labels someone an atheist is disbelief in gods

bro the supernatural beings you added to the definition of superstition isn't there from the google which you got that definition from, it only says supernatural
http://www.google.com.ng/search?q=superstition i think we all would appreciate it if you can be honest in your post and throw every deception out the window.

according to google superstition is excessively credulous belief in and reverence for the supernatural. everyone can look it up by typing superstition in www.google.com.ng

superstitious beliefs includes witchcrafts, magic, ghosts etc. . . so someone can still believe these things and lacks belief in a god or gods. .

so yes someone who lacks belief in god(s) (atheist) can still be superstitious

An atheist can be superstitious. A theist can hold no superstitious belief, or even a belief in the supernatural.

Is that not a contradiction looking at those definitions?
So one can be scared of the devil (witches) but there is no god?

is god a witch?

it all falls to belief.... the person may believe that there are witches but lack belief there are god(s)


just like someone can also disbelief there are witches but believes there is a god or gods.

saying belief in witches contradicts disbelief in deities is like saying disbelief in witches contradicts belief in deities. . . those are independent concepts

A superstition is a belief that is not based on logic or reason. I thought Atheist were LOGICAL and REALISTIC?

I think you are adding your own definition to atheism . . .

You yourself know that atheism only means disbelief in gods

they may even be grandpas that have never tasted education but lack beliefs in gods thats all it takes to be referred to as an atheist.

so not everyone who is an atheist can be regarded to be logical or intelligent and stuff.

some may be superstitious or believe all these absurdities that superstition entails but what labels them atheist are just disbelief in god(s)

another may be all brilliant, intelligent, logical, scientific all that doesn't classify him an atheist, only the fact that he/she lack belief god(s) labels him/her an atheist.

Using the definition of superstition you gave, there could be a contradiction. The contradiction is avoided by shifting the boundary of the natural, so that the superstitious belief falls within the natural, or so that the supernatural is eliminated entirely. For example, one can say that his supposed superstitious belief is simply unexplained natural phenomena (there are definitions of supernatural that allow this) or that everything that exists is natural.

Also, it is possible to believe that there are supernatural things without believing in God (sentient ultimate cause). For example, an alternate universe might be supernatural to us and anybody that believes in one would thereby believe in the supernatural. Similarly, a "spiritual world" consisting of demons (but no God) could possibly have developed just as science suggests ours did.
