«The atheist's rejection of belief in God is usually accompanied by a broader rejection of any supernatural or
transcendental reality. For example, an atheist does not usually believe in the existence of immortal
souls, life after death,
ghosts, or supernatural powers. Although strictly speaking an atheist could believe in any of these things and still remain an atheist... the arguments and ideas that sustain atheism tend naturally to rule out other beliefs in the supernatural or transcendental.»
