Cos I am a Christian and I know that if I worship God, I have to accept the Devil is real aswell. I'm just wondering if some people believe the devil is real yet somehow ignore the existence of God. This stems from a convo I had with a class mate who said God wasn't real but the believed the devil was alive and working in the world!

You would have to find someone that doesn't believe in God and ask them... Some do, some don't. However, it doesn't really matter... The devil even believes in God, so that should tell everyone something.. ;)

I can't speak for all atheists, but since the strictest definition of an atheist is one who has no supernatural beliefs, the answer would probably be no. I am an atheist, and I don't believe in devils, either. It's real convenient for Christians to claim atheists are devil worshipers, but it's a load of hogwash. If we don't worship gods, it would logically follow we wouldn't worship devils, either, since their existence is equally unlikely.

No, an atheist chooses not to believe in God or the Devil.

I wouldn't say they believe in the devil. Some people don't believe in a higher power that governs all creation. They just believe that even thing exist on it's own with no consequence to actions such as Hell or heaven.

No. The devil was added to the Bible in the 14th or 16th cent. by King James to convert more pagans.

Yeah, I know. People who hate Zeus must worship the devil. Way to generalize people ding dong.

A strange question but OK here goes.....NO, as an atheist I believe in no supernatural beings, god(s), angels, demons, etc.

no...both are mythical supernatural creatures.
The reasons for not believing in one, apply to the other equally. (Emphasis on reason)
