How do you view other atheists who are more spiritual then. If you are a spiritual atheist, who do you view those who aren't?
I really don't know yet because I haven't really met a "spiritual" Atheists but we usually go for the more logical answers etc. Right now the bigger problem is harassment from some Christians who want to spew their religion on us or other religions on that matter.
SO atheists of the world. How do you view other atheists who are more spirtual then. If you are a spirtiual atheist, who do you view those who arn't?
There are many different ways to define being spiritual. Just to get an idea of this here is what wiki has.
Spirituality can refer to an ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality; an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his/her being; or the "deepest values and meanings by which people live." Spiritual practices, including meditation, prayer and contemplation, are intended to develop an individual's inner life; spiritual experience includes that of connectedness with a larger reality, yielding a more comprehensive self; with other individuals or the human community; with nature or the cosmos; or with the divine realm. Spirituality is often experienced as a source of inspiration or orientation in life. It can encompass belief in immaterial realities or experiences of the immanent or transcendent nature of the world.
Here is one atheist who regards herself as being spiritual but not in any sort of supernatural way. Spiritual Atheism
So I guess it depends on what we mean by spiritual. In the situation such as the above video, more power to her. In a more supernatural sense I would have to question why they aren't applying the same level of skepticism as they do with god.
wow. atheists don't eat meat. lol jk. so i'm in my history class, and they found evidence of something from the bible. so... people already probably said this but yeah. what happens when there's evidence of something that is real from the bible, what do atheists do then? just don't believe in it?

An event shown to be true in the Bible doesn't make the whole thing true. Nor does it justify the magical aspects of the Bible. I would recommend watching this episode of the Atheist Experience as it covers this question. Don't worry it's right in the beginning of the show as well. Faith vs. Evidence - The Atheist Experience #716 (full episode)
Also many works of fiction both past and present use real elements in their story telling. To take another thing stated on the show "If in a thousand years we discover a city called New York existed that doesn't automatically make the story of Spiderman true."
