Atheist      Re your message on my talk page  Saying the idea of God is utterly ridiculous is just an emphatic way of saying Gods doesdo not exist      On another note your post which gave the original lead for this article brought up a nagging question in my mind  Why arent Budhists atheists  Clearly theyre 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 eg 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
