I wouldn't say so---I know of a few self described Atheists who wouldn't 
doubt that space aliens visit us, or that there is something to 
Astrology or any other nutty notions of 'spirituality' without a God 
figure.  Hell, the commercials they play on Air America regarding laser 
beams curing smoking habits or the one about listening to a hypnosis CD 
to lose weight would not be kooky to some who do not accept a 'God 
Figure' in their world view.

Never doubt the ability of Human minds, religious or not, to believe in 
nonsense.
