    Is atheism a belief?

    What exception? You are probably what is called a gnostic atheist. Atheist because you have no belief in gods, gnostic because you appear to claim that you know there are no gods. If you don't claim to know there are no gods but only believe so, you would be a strong atheist.

    Atheists: If God existed…

    That is irrational and illogical. The validity of any message should be objectively judged on its own merits and not be compared to or dismissed because of personal beliefs one happens to have. The validity of reincarnation does not depend on what you personally are capable of believing.

    Atheists: If God existed…

    It's good enough for you when it comes to Jesus but not good enough when it comes to Krishna, even though the message of reincarnation seems pretty important too?
