If you disbeoieve in god, you’re an atheist. If you suspend judgement you’re an agnostic. Neither one would deny the existence of ghosts. The concept itself is not mutually exclusive with either.

You sound pretty human to me...

Sounds like you are trying to hold on to some myths because you somehow find them reassuring.

I have seen ghosts. the old man that used to own our house "lives" in the garage. He was grumpy when we first moved in, but I guess he approves because he generally leaves us along. things do get mysteriously moved in the house occasionally tho.

Where do you fit in? I've often pondered how one can profess belief in the supernatural, but not in religion. Is it even ok to believe in god but not the devil? So, you fit in here. you're not alone. Welcome to the family

Try asking yourself why you believe these things. What is the motivation? How do you reconcile it with scientific method of investigation? You might surprise yourself with the answers, and you might not but asking the questions is an important step.

I think it's important to continue throughout one's lifetime to question our own beliefs. Kind of like a checkpoint. Understanding these things often takes a lifetime of learning particularly as things become clearer over time as new insights and science is also moving forward. For example very intelligent people used to think the world was flat. Until someone who develop the tools and applied them to this theory. But 1st he had to question this long held belief by most of the world. Always question.
Perhaps there is a scientific explanation we simply don't have the tools to prove or disprove at this point in time.

Just adopt the same reasoning towards the supernatural as you do towards gods and you'll see that there is no difference. Obviously, the show Supernatural is completely different!!

There are many people that have conflicting views like this. I personally feel that we are spirit/soul type beings. Nothing related to religion on any level but spirit/soul is who are what you are. So feeling or believing in supernatural things is part of something that maybe you can't explain.. there are many things I think we as humans will never know or truly understand.

I don't believe in god or the bible or anything to do with with religion but I also believe in ghosts, spirits, reincarnation, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with religion. I've always questioned the existence of "God" but I've also ALWAYS believed in the after life. I just don't associate one with the other. I don;t care if I don't "fit in" and I don't care what other atheists think about me and my beliefs...it's just who I am. Why would you want to be labeled? Be YOU...that's all that matters.

I don't believe in any gods or heaven and hell but I do believe our life force never dies. Like the ancient Celts I believe in re-incarnation. The Celts believed when you die you are reborn in the Otherworld and when you die there you are reborn in this world. They would have a funeral and also a birthday for the person being dying and being reborn.

If I had to label you I would say Buddhist. They believe in a spiritualism with reincarnation minus a personal and nonpersonal creator god. As for not believing in a heaven they do believe in an afterlife of sorts where you can break the cycle of reincarnation and attain a state of nirvana (contentment? peace?).

Have you tried Wicca???

I tend to believe in some supernatural phenomena that are probably not actually supernatural. "The universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose.”

I used to believe in astrology until I sat down and looked at it critically, and looked up facts on the subject. I also used to believe in "inner-chi" and stuff like that but James Randi made me a skeptic lol. I've been creeped out and scared of the unknown but never really believed in ghosts or spirits.

I agree with vertrauen, If ghosts are real then they are not supernatural, they exist within the natural world, and if they exist in the natural world they're not beyond discovery. Like vertrauen said, "Either the light is there or it isn't, the sound is there or it isn't. If the light and sound are there and observable, then what produces it is natural." - That simple statement can be applied to God, Ghosts and all things supernatural. The only thing I would add at the very end of that statement is "and testable"

All atheism addresses is if you believe in God or not, so if you don't believe in your an atheist. If you believe in super natural you may identify as "spiritual" without necessarily being religious or a theist, but if you don't believe in god your an atheist.

You can still be an atheist and believe in supernatural things. The only criteria for being an atheist is that you lack belief in a god. That's it. Atheism itself says nothing about ghosts, fairies, or ESP.
