Best Answer

Yes (although I'm not sure why you wouldn't), because the definition of Atheism is not believing in God, it doesn't refer to evolution at all.

Nothing would stop an atheist from believing that Earth was populated by aliens from space, only existed as a program in a massive computer or was the figment of his imagination. Most, however, don't follow these options.

Is there anybody that doesn't believe in evolution and isn't a christian?

Many Muslims and Orthodox Jews do not " believe " in evolution. Of course the truth does not need you belief to be true and something can be true whether you believe it or not. I should re-word this question. Is there an atheist that doesn't agree with evolution? There may be an atheist that does not agree with evolutionary theory, but what difference would that make? If there was someone out there I would like to hear his views on evolution.


If you believe humans came from monkeys does that make you an atheist?

You are not necessarily an atheist. People who read the Bible literally believe that God started us as humans and made us in his image so we were not monkeys. However, it is also possible to believe that God caused evolution which changed us from apes into the species we are today. Belief and religion should not be limited by one aspect of them. If you have faith you are not an atheist.
