Originally posted by NickstenI'm not sure what you mean by 'see', but although most of the atheists I know (me included), deny the existence of the supernatural, this doesn't mean that they have to see things this way. Atheism is strictly a denial of the existence of god(s). It says nothing about the potential for other supernatural entities to be considerable.
In what way then can an atheist see a supernatural world?
Personally I find this hard to come to terms with, if I apply the same rational which I believe justifies my atheism to the subject of any other supernatural entity or concept I get the same answers. But, having said that, there are different types of atheism and different rationale supports the views thereof, so others may not deal with the supernatural on the same basis.
