 Atheist 

   Re your message on my talk page - Saying ""the idea of God is utterly ridiculous"", is just an emphatic way of saying ""God(s) does/do not exist"".  
   On another note, your post which gave the original lead for this article brought up a nagging question in my mind.  Why aren't Budhists atheists?  Clearly they're not, and yet technically they fit the definition as they reject the idea of a deity.  
   In other words - How does one differentiate what we know as atheism from religons that simply do not involve deities?  Perhaps in defining atheists we should use the term ""supernatural"" (e.g. Atheists reject the existense of dieties and the supernatural).  Would that be to broad a definition?  Can someone be an atheist, and yet still believe in some supernatural phenomena? Thoughts?   "
