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 would also like to file a formal complaint against you and other editors reverting my edits to the article on Islam to say that it is also a system of beliefs besides a political system.  That's what the article that ''you'' cite, "Why Islam is Not a Religion" says about Islam, it is BOTH a system of beliefs and an ideology, but just because it is a system of beliefs does not make it a religion.

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.  What baffles me most of all is why this site has resources for leaving atheism and becoming a Christian but no resources for leaving any other religion and becoming a Christian.  It's as if this site exists in its own universe where Christianity and atheism are one's only two choices for religion.
