An "Atheist Pagan" Is Equivalent To An "Atheist Christian." It's Not Possible. Your Are A Magick Practicing Atheist. Just Because A Dog Chases A Mouse That Does Not Make Him A Cat - He's A Dog Who Chased A Mouse. But, So There Will Be Little Argument, Let's Refer To the Trusty Webster New World College Edition Dictionary, Shall We: PAGAN (from the Latin 'paganus') "...pagan specifically refers to one of the ancient polytheistic peoples." ATHEIST (from the French 'atheiste') "a person who believes there is no god." Paganism/Polytheism Is "the Belief In Many Gods", Not just "the Practice of Magick." POLYTHEISM (from the Greek 'polytheos'; "poly-', many, 'theos', god) "the belief/worship in many gods: opposed to monotheism or atheism." An Atheist Is No More Pagan Than A Christian Is. And, Buddhism Is ABSOLUTELY Theistic In Every Sense of the Word. Buddha Is Regarded As A God; aTheos, If You Will. A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Waste.

Atheism is a practice in it's self. Though a practice of nothing, but a practice none the less.

I believe in a higher power but don't fit into any religious group per se. I call my self a non practicing atheist though it is with tongue in cheek.

It is my understanding that an atheist is simply a person who does not believe in God. That belief is the condition of atheism, not any specific actions that they do or do not take.

Atheism isn't something you practice. It's a belief about the way things work. It would like being a "non-practicing conservative."

Since it's not a religion, there's nothing to practice. So I would say no.
