But do atheists believe that zombies exist/could exist?" Well The Count is a vampire, not a zombie. And also, the existence of zombies (however unlikely) is not generally connectet to anything religious, but rather a virus of some sort*. * Exept for voodoo (witch is kind of a religion, though it does not involve any gods), and Jesus (who, though not considdered one, technically is a zombie, since he rose from the dead). zack said:

"The salmon is served with TWO shrimp scampi and ONE side of green beans!" It always makes my day, especially to see the reaction of the people.

These things are quite typical of churches, but you are right, it isn't a good basis for atheism. Explaining this though kills the humour.

Um...that alone might not be a healthy or logically defensible reason to reject divine or religious claims. Or maybe I'm just missing something here.
