dilbert: No, atheists do not believe in the devil or anything pertaining to a religious mythology. I suppose that technically you could be an atheist and believe in supernatural and otherworldly beings, but my guess is that virtually all atheists reject any of that kind of thing. That's not to say that atheists aren't spirtual, just that their spirituality does not have anything to do with any kind of deity (aka, supreme being, god, goddess, etc.) which would make their spirituality intellectual or intuitive as opposed to something relating to something that could be seen as supernatural. Supernatural is, of course, the name of a record album by Carlos Santana, but that's really irrelevant (as opposed to irreverent, little joke there) to this discussion!
