Are there any atheists that believe in reincarnation?

That would seem a contradiction.
@PhoenixPhail

How so?
@Pikachu If there's no God from which we are all born, how could we be born again from that same non-being?
@PhoenixPhail

The only requirement of atheism is that one lacks belief or disbelieves the claim that a god exists.
Nothing about that requires a rejection of other supernatural beliefs including reincarnation.

Perhaps your particular belief is that a god is the necessary explanation and source then that is your belief but that is not a necessary foundation for belief in the supernatural.

@Pikachu Egads. This debate is one of the most tiring, Theist are so dense, it's painful.
@Pikachu Good Point. 👍
@PhoenixPhail

Thanks!
@Pikachu Thank you.
I'm here to look at myself.

One of the best ways to learn is to talk to people who disagree with you👍

@Pikachu Exactly. A seemingly supernatural origin to the Universe does not need a god of any sort.
@Pikachu Yes. But you have to keep in mind, who you're talking to might be saying what they are because that's what works for them.

Listen to everyone. Take on whatever works for you - whatever fits you the best. Leave the rest behind without judgment.

It can be quite a challenge in a world which promotes judgment and criticism.

I'm often seen as crazy because of my ideas. They're certainly not in the mainstream.

lol yes the "without judgement" part is often more challenging.
