I'm not an atheist, but a strict agnostic.
The thing is, evidence is the only thing that opens my mind.
In other words, anything is plausible, once there is sufficient evidence to support it.
So far, there hasn't been even one half of a tiny shred of evidence to support reincarnation, just as there hasn't been any to support any other religious ideas. I will continue to reject the concept of reincarnation as mythmaking unless and until someone forms a testable hypothesis or two and proves them out far enough to develop a credible theory. Until then, I don't want to hear about it, because there are sufficient real things going on to take up my time and attention.

Given solid reproduceable proof I could believe in reincarnation.
Of course it would require an open mind. Faith is what I have in people not ideas

I could be persuaded of ANYTHING if given good evidence. That is the nature of being an atheist. We follow reality. However, "good" evidence is judged on scientific criteria, so you will have to work hard to come up with good evidence.
So, it would require an open mind, not faith.

Given enough evidence I could be persuaded to believe whatever the best explanation happens to be. If that were reincarnation, I would believe in it.

I am an atheist, I find reincarnation possible, given the fact it does explains why every people have different paths. However, with that being said, that does not mean other atheists should find it possible too.

I could find anything plausible given measurable and repeatable evidence. Basically get it to pass peer review and it is worth hearing. Otherwise it is probably just smoke and mirrors.

Given hard, irrefutable, scientifically supported evidence you'd have to have a closed mind not to believe in whatever. I think it may be a while before that happens.

Given evidence, I can be persuaded to consider as plausible anything at all.
Do you have any repeatable plausible evidence for it?

I would prefer a mechanistic explanation, but sufficient indirect evidence which cannot just be the mind filling in gaps and anecdote would suffice.

I already believe in reincarnation and am Atheist.
