Are Jainism and Buddhism fundamentally atheist religions?

Best Answers

I am a "Jain" and I would like to answer you that Jainism is not an atheist religion. Some hindu followers claimed it as "Atheist" because Jainism doesn't believe in any creator god, protector god or destroyer god. For someone's claim, we can't be denoted as Atheist to be very frank. read more

I guess, I'm suitable to answer this being born as Jain and now an Atheist by choice. Jainism actually is not atheism but closer to it than most other religions in the world (probably all other than Buddhism). read more
