You also cannot categorically say that all atheists/agnostics deny anything that is spiritual. For example, "A survey compiled in 2014 by The Austin Institute for the Study of Family and Culture (AISFC) reveals that 32 percent of Americans who identified themselves as agnostics and atheists believe in an afterlife of some kind. In addition, 6 percent of the same non-theistic group expressed a belief in a “bodily resurrection”. These numbers were taken from a sample of 15,738 Americans, all of which were between the ages of 18 and 60. According to the data, 13.2 percent of Americans identify themselves as atheist, agnostic, or some other variation of non-believing."

Excuse me, sir, but your definition of atheism '''fails to account for those who believe in other gods besides our own'''.  If you say that atheism itself is denial of God's existence, '''you're saying that all Hindus, Muslims, Atenists, Sabians, Tengrists, Bábists, Tenriists, Rastafarians, Sikhists, and even the Bahá'í faith, who worship a non-Biblical God or gods, are all atheists, which we know is simply not true'''.  Not to mention that you have an article explicitly stating that [[Atheism is a religion]], so telling me that making edits based on the exact principles you teach does not make any sense to me.

Actually, yes, I ''can'' say that atheists deny the existence of anything spiritual (And could you please stop saying "atheists/agnostics" like they're one and the same?  They're '''not the same'''.).  Buddhists say they do not believe in any God or gods, but they do believe that nature itself has a spiritual aspect where most atheists and agnostics disagree.  Likewise, the Jain religion teaches the existence of souls, but not believing in God does not automatically make them atheists.  I studied comparative religion for a time in college, so I know that the concept of religion is not as black-and-white as this Website would have one believe.
