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 [i]you. [/i]
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 [i]them.[/i]

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 [i]promotes[/i] 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.
