There are atheists that believe in reincarnation. However, in general, you will not find them.
​
In my view, 'conciousness' is an emergant property of brain activity. Stop the brain, stop the conciousness.
​
The 'reincarnation' of a 'soul' would not make sense to me. That new life would not have my knowledge, my experiance, and my attitudes. why call it me. Why call the 'me' a reincarnation of that person. It just doesn't make sense.
