Is it not possible for an atheist to believe in an afterlife?
An afterlife does not require a deity, so isn't it possible?

The life in our bodies is a form of energy and energy does not die. It only transform from one stage to the next. Also the end of one thing is the beginning of another.

Wouldn't it require spirit though? That's an interesting question. Are you an atheist? I'm a Christian but I've never really looked at it from your angle (if you're an atheist). So thinking out loud...
Does an "afterlife" imply some sort of spiritual life? Is there a way to be an atheist and think afterlife IS possible? Who controlls it? Who created it? Could another realm that we participate in have just evolved?
I'm curious to have atheists way in on their view to these questions. If it's reincarnation, who decides what each person comes back as? People who believe in reincarnation believe in a higher power...
Interesting question...
Cheers

I think we can believe whatever the heck we want too. So, sure, an Atheist can believe in an afterlife.

Of course you can believe anything you want to. To some degree I believe there is a afterlife too.

It is possible for an atheist to belive in some form of after-life. "Atheism" simply means that they either don't believe in the existence of a god or the existence of your God.

Anything is possible, considering that there are about a thousand different KINDS of atheist.

Sure, I hope some of the Atheists answer so we can find out for sure. But that's what I think!

Sure. Atheism just means you don't believe in god. Reincarnation is a different topic.

Sure it's possible. I do. I'm a Taoist atheist.
