Atheism, by definition, means you don't believe a god (or multiple gods) exist. This does not necessarily imply that they don't believe in a soul, or some other form of life-force. That said, I would venture a guess that most atheists don't belive in having a soul for the same reason they don't believe in a god. But that doesn't make it a necessary condition.

It is possible to be an atheist and believe in the afterlife. What religion calls a soul, an atheist would call energy.

If I were God, I wouldn't create an atheist.

Could be. I have no idea what God does if God exists.

So what exactly goes on then? God is just chilling by himself?

There universe could have been created by god(s). But there's no way there's an afterlife.

Atheists do not believe having souls, but that does not mean they are denying its existence as far as we are talking about reasonable Atheists.

The notion of denying what you don't see, is just a very stupid argument, and it is refused by the leaders of Atheists.

And for a side note. Many Atheists know about soul, but just refuse to believe in it, without any reason behind of that. They feel it, and know the existence of some soft being in them, but they just try to not use the word "soul". This is a famous behavior of the human being. They love to live the lie.

Those are the Atheists who had some visions about the future (or other manifestations of soul), and watched it happens, and they knew it is there. But they still refuse to call it "Soul".

The definition of an Athiest is “the rejection of theism, or the position that deities do not exist In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities.”

I call myself an Athiest because I have no God and reject the idea even when looking into it deeper. Since a “soul” is a religious term and I am not religious, that must mean that Athiest do NOT believe they have a soul.

So what exactly do you believe is making you live right now?
