No, I cannot say that I do believe in angels or demons, the good versus bad scenario of non-secular thinking. I keep an open mind towards things I do not understand, but until I can see proof, or at least some good mathematics,...I choose to be a skeptic.

For all practical purposes, I'm an atheist. I do keep an open mind because we only use part of our brain and we are limited by our biology in terms of comprehending many things like infinity, nothingness and such, but I do not accept any of the worldly religions as viable explanations for what is and what isn't.
I am agnostic, believe Arius was correct, and lean towards Atheism on many topics.
That being said, there exists certain evidence found world wide in many cultures that we share this planet with creatures not easily seen, or at least very rarely.
Several consistent in description types. In an effort to explain them away many myths have been concocted and names affixed to them. Regardless of local name, the little people were encountered by humans in such diverse places as the American Continent, Europe, Ireland, and the South Pacific and even in Aftica (and no I do not mean the Bantu tribe). Seemingly intelligent balls of light have been and are encountered across the planet. Fog beings, frequently called ghosts or potergeists may be the same species as the balls of light.
One or two (several actually) old tales allege the beings communicate when they wish to. Usually they claim to be some kind of God thing, or else someone else decides they are. Angels, demons, ghosts, poltergeists, etc.
Simple misdirection from a very (understandable if they have been watching us and taking notes) paranoid species I suspect. With the ending of the 20th and the dawn of the 21st century many places now have surveillance cameras that run 24 hours a day 7 days a week. There exist many, many video captures of both the light beings, the foggy mist things, and even a few footages of what seem to be the little people. I do not believe any of them have a connection to the spirit world or angels or demons. Just a few life forms sharing this mud ball that our own arrogance and cultural expectations prevents us knowing.

that is false I'm afraid we do not use part of our brain, not unless you've had the other parts removed.
Well, I gave up trying to use my brain, I decided when the time comes, I want as best a trade-in price as possible. So I now try to keep it in 'as new' condition as much as possible....
