Can an atheist believe in supernatural concepts like Dharma or karma in Buddhism, magic spells, ghosts, angels, etc. and still call himself an atheist?

Dharma and Karma, particularly, aren't even necessarily supernatural.
Wouldnt you guys agree that atheists feel that there is no scientific evidence for a supernatural god and they would apply the same standard to other supernatural concepts? So while atheists can believe in magic spells, ghosts and little green men, it is very unlikely that they do!The only thing one must not believe in is a god/deity. I know atheists who believe in ghosts and little green men.

So why not call ourselves naturalists or pantheists. Maybe we could even get elected in the US.Atheism is not necessarily the same thing as naturalism, though all naturalists are atheists.

I dunno why you don't call yourselves naturalists. Call yourselves what you want.So why not call ourselves naturalists or pantheists. Maybe we could even get elected in the US.
It's up to the individual.if an atheist die,how the people manage their corpse?by burning or burying them?
Agreed, but it lacks the attached stigma of atheism and that would be a huge step ahead in American politics.I think pantheism is too broad a term.
