If atheists don't believe in God nor the Bible, do they believe in any prophecy...Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce, etc.?

An athiest believes in what ever he wants to believe in, and it just happens its not God or the Bible.

That's bullshit, and you know it.
Atheism isn't existential, nor is it agnostic. There is a definite belief structure involved.

Atheism is the absence of a particular belief structure.
Personally, my atheism stems from a strong belief in empiricism, hence I put little stock in prophecies.

A belief in the non-existence of what other believe in.
You believe that this is all there is. Fine by me, different strokes for different folks.
But it IS a belief, as you cannot prove it, just as I cannot prove my beliefs.

Atheism is just not having a belief in God. Don't refer to it as a religion. It is lack of religion in my belief. and yes I am one.

It's not a religion. Of course not. However, it is a belief.
It's a belief in not having a belief, as I've stated.

Atheism is only a lack of belief in gods. An atheist does not believe in God or gods. It is not a religion. Prophecy may or may not be about religious affairs. So atheists could possibly believe in some prophecy...Jean Dixon, perhaps. Now, why do people who claim to be atheists relate they think atheism is some form of school of thought? It has nothing to do with existentialism, holism, ect.
Atheism is nothing. It is not a belief - it is disbelief in God or gods. Thats it...nothing special or elaborate. An atheists is not necessarily a satanist or reptilian. Though they could be....

It's a belief in disbelief.
Let' me try to explain. Can I prove that God exists?
No, of course not. Hence, my faith is merely a belief.
Now, you don't have a belief in a higher power. You don't believe it exists. But can you prove it?
No, you can't. Which is what makes it a belief.
