Your teacher is wrong. Atheists can believe in an afterlife, spirits, unicorns, whatever, just not gods. The title you are thinking of is "spiritualist " or "spiritist ".

Your teacher is an idiot. Atheism is lack of belief in any gods.

Atheist means you don't believe in god. Hence the theist part.

If you can accept one thing that is not objectively validated, then why can't you accept another?

Thats not true an athiest can believe in ghost for there isnt a religion focused on believeing ghost your teacher is probably christian and they tend to be dick believers and think what they think is right. you can be athiest and believe in ghost. ghost dont need to do anything with religion.

Look up atheism in a dictionary. What I know is the Latinate root "eist " means spirit, so I can see her point.

A Materialist. You only believe through your 5 senses.

I'm an atheist and i have seen alot of wierd stuff. i have an atheist friend who as a child lived in a house where the faucets would turn on by themselves, and i have no reason to not believe her. that does not mean that its "spirits " like we think of them, there has to be a scientific answer for everything, and excluding the BSers, people who actually see ghosts or seeing things move without human contact are probably witnessing some form of deformation in space-time or a "thin spot " between universes. google multiverse theory if you dont understand what i'm talking about
