Thank you I just learned about it. Seems compatible with atheism.

    It absolutely does not. Jainism is even stricter than Hinduism, to be co-opted with a faithless belief system

      It's atheistic in that it's godless (more focused on saints). In its orthodoxy it requires a lot from any practitioner, towards its philosophy.

      Atheism isn’t a faithless belief system, it is the absence of either a faith or a belief system.

      That absence is also quite compatible with Jainism, the core moral precept of which is simply do no violence.
