If you believe in supernatural events but not God, you would most likely be deemed Agnostic. I may not be right about that though...
Some Jews are atheists, professing no beliefs in a Divinity or the supernatural.
Scientifically, superstitions are considered as a psychological need for supernatural belief
Naturalism is the belief that all effects in the universe have a naturalistic explanation. Meaning, one does not need to appeal to unmeasurable forces or anthropomorphic deities in order to explain the world around us. The opposite of naturalism is supernaturalism, the belief that not all effects in the universe have a naturalistic explanation, and that some things can only be explained via the appeal to unmeasurable forces or anthropomorphic deities. Almost all religions are predicated around a belief in at least one god, and further, around the belief that their god(s) actually contribute materially to human existence. This makes them supernatural belief systems, and any society formed upon a supernatural belief system is a supernatural society.
The belief of Jews and Christians that influenced European civilization was the way they marked time. There was also a belief that there is a supernatural being who controls the universe.

If you believe you are a god, then that is not atheism because you are believing in a god. Atheism is a lack of a belief in a god. If you believe in demons and other evil creatures then you believe in the supernatural. Belief in the supernatural is not a feature of atheism. Technically, atheists do not hold any belief that supernatural forces control human destiny. You should not consider yourself an atheist.
