I can't really speak on behalf of all atheists but Karma originally was used to describe the plight of man and the presence of evil within the doctrine of Hinduism and Buddhism. Karma is the notion of that which followed you from one incarnation to another and kept one in the constant circle of rebirth until hopefully eventually it was worked out or overcome by ones level of enlightenment and the need for reincarnation was eliminated and one attained nirvana and became one with the Brahman which is believed to be the life force of reality. How the Brahman became fragmented in the first place is never explained. But this is why the culture in the far east is such that so many can walk by the poor and needy and not feel a bit of compassion. The beggars are simply living out the Karma of past lives.

I believe only in the psychological aspect of karma. If you do something bad, something bad will happen to you not because of some supernatural power, but because you feel guilty. If the same thing were to happen to you under any other circumstance karma wouldn't be blamed for it, it's all in people's minds.

I am an atheist and still believe in the basic principle of what goes around comes around. You don't have to believe in a god to believe in Karma.

I cannot speak for all the aethists, but I do believe in karma, for there is a reason for us to be in a particular situation at all times...like we are being set up, from our birth and so on...and then we learn that what goes around...do unto others... for we expect compassion towards our own soul and hence we keep setting up for the same.

Karma is the seen that which followed you from one incarnation to a diverse and kept one contained interior the consistent circle of rebirth till hopefully finally it grew to grow to be into worked out or conquer by using utilising ones factor of enlightenment and the favor for reincarnation grew to grow to be into eliminated and one attained nirvana and grew to regulate into one with the Brahman that is believed to be the existence pressure of truth. How the Brahman grew to regulate into fragmented contained interior the first position is in no way defined. yet that is the reason the custom contained interior the some distance east is such that an excellent style of can walk by using utilising the adverse and needy and not in any respect adventure extremely compassion. The beggars are purely residing out the Karma of previous lives.
