History 293 views Asked 19 November, 2025

Quick Answer

Commonly, atheists do not believe in the existence of a soul as an independent, immortal entity. In contrast, Jain philosophy asserts that the soul is an eternal, conscious substance distinct from the body.

Detailed Answer

Atheistic perspectives generally deny the existence of a soul, viewing consciousness and identity as products of physical processes without any immortal or separate spiritual substance. This materialistic viewpoint contrasts sharply with the teachings of Jainism, which hold that the soul (jiva) is an independent, eternal, and conscious entity that animates the body but is not reducible to it.
