I dont really believe in anything although I admit there probably is the possibility of god, ghosts, aliens, etc. But I just wanted to know if any atheists believe in aliens, and of those that do if why they dont believe in god but do in aliens.
Kind of the same reason why I asked if christians believed in aliens and if they didnt why.

Christians don't believe in Aliens because it is against the word of the bible and the religious assumption that the Earth is the centre of the Universe.
I do believe and we would be arrongant and small minded not to believe, that there has to be other life within the Universe. Now that does not mean I think little Grey men are poking around in lofts waiting to prance onyou while taking a shower as to save him the time of taking your pants of to stick his probe up your ****! it just means that life on Earth is a mathematical probability ( law of odds) the same rule must apply to the vastness of space.

Some atheist people do and some don't. Atheism isn't a certain set of beliefs or a religion and I wish people would get this out of their heads. Atheism only means that you have seen no evidence to support the religious claims of a god. Thats it, nothing more. A Christian can be an atheist. Ask them if they believe in the Norse god, Odin. If they say no, that makes them an atheist because they see no evidence or reason to believe in that god. Now that I have gotten that out of my system, I can get back to your original question. I am an atheist and I feel that their most likely are aliens or other life forms out there, not because of my lack of a belief in god, but based on probability alone. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying their are aliens or that I believe in aliens, I am saying that the probability of aliens existing is better than the probability for them not existing. I will tell you why I feel this way. I look up in the sky and I can see hundreds of stars. Remember that these are only the close stars that I can see with my naked eye and we have no idea how far space extends. It could go on for infinity. Now, as I think about it, that could be millions and millions and millions of solar systems out their that could possibly have a planet capable of supporting life. When I talk about life I am not only talking about humanoid life, but also single celled organism or bacteria. With those odds, most likely their is life on other planets, but this doesn't mean they are close enough or advanced enough to where we would ever have a chance of coming in contact with them. I hope that has cleared up things for you!

Because we exist, I reckon it's credible there is another Goldilocks planet in the multiverse somewhere and it's likely there's life less or more evolved than we.
Although, I can't believe there's an invisible sky swooping critter that created the multiverse and everything in it cos there is no evidence to support that hypothesis.
The more evolved we become the smaller the gaps the theists fit 'him' into.
In another 100 years 'he' will be relegated to the stuff of dreams, delusions and general insanity.

I like the idea of aliens, but I don't think they exist. I believe that the only thing that lives out of this world is algae.

I do believe in aliens. Because there is so much in outerspace thay we didn't explore yet, who's to say that this is the only planet that can support life. Not only that, just because life on Earth needs oxygen to survive, who's to say there isn't life out there that needs something else to survive?

There is a possibility of aliens ...... look at the vast universe out there and the possibility of a second species is possible.
There is little possibility of god ..... look at the vast universe out there and the possibility of a perfect creator to screw up so many times to create earth is highly impossible.

I don't believe in anything supernatural.
"Alien" life may exist out there somewhere, but I sincerely doubt that any have "visited" us.

I will admit to their possibility, but I do not believe that aliens came from other solar systems to do anal probes on hicks. I believe that if they came here...all that way...they would want to communicate and would make themselves known intelligently.
