Why is Atheism often seen as the opposition to just the abrahamic god not to all the fabulous creature that populate the realm of "divinity"?
Dawkins once stated that Atheists just take it one God further than the followers of the one god that goes by his generic name.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Please, anyone, correct me if I am wrong in saying that the word atheist means the absence of all deities. So I am a little surprised to read the question. Are there any instances which give rise to the question?

The monotheist have monopolized the term 'God' to mean their god. Interestingly enough Apple, apart from autocorrecting apple to Apple, also corrects god to God and even more surprisingly angels to Angels. For me this is an indication that all those who believe in other gods would be seen as heretics or atheists.
