Reclaimer Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 ^^^^I don't know where you get the idea that Jainism is a form of Atheism. Jainism is definitely a religious faith. Just because they don't believe in one omnipotent supreme being does not make them Atheists. Jainism - A religion founded by Nataputta, who was a royal clan of the Nata tribe in ancient India at the time of Shakyamuni. Its basic doctrine is non-materialistic atheism. Right there, and I never said they were total atheists. I just said their beliefs involved a form of atheism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
