Faith does not need to be religion based either. I am faithful in my marriage......I have faith in family values.
I have no religion....so am I an atheist? I live by what are, by and large, Christian principles and yet do not subscribe to the dogma of that religion. No I wasn't married in Church and I didn't have my daughter christened.
I am only mentionig these things for illustration. I am not 'getting' at anyone for their beliefs or lack of them.
Whatever gets you through the dark times is Ok by me...as long as it doesn't impact on anothers life values.

Yes, but all religions believe spirit survives death, in some way, or another.
I fear we're just going round in circles.
I think it impossible to discuss reincarnation, without touching on the idea of life after death, whatever we want to call it.
Personally, I believe life ends with death.
Others don't.
That's their right.
I wouldn't dream of trying to convince anyone else to my way of thinking.
Even though many who do believe in life after death, see it as their divine right, to try and convert me, to share their beliefs.
They can try, as long as I'm not asleep, or having my tea, but it will be futile.
