Jainists do not believe in a creator. By Jainist belief, the universe has always existed and always will, eternally. Jainists do not believe in a deity, but rather, every soul has the ability to become god-like by cleansing itself of karma, attaining infinite knowledge and bliss.

To the best of my knelled, Jainism is a non-theistic religion, or at least a nominally non-theistic religion. No creator.

Yes, i m Jain and we do not believe in Creator, we believe only one thing that is Karma that has brought us on earth it can be like we human beings or even animals or water or stone everything has life, in Jainism it was said few thousands of years ago that tree has a life and no one believed now after this theory has been proved by scientist people started believing the same the same we say now Rock has a life and due to its Karma its here and we respect our God because we get praised by things what we see so everyday when we see our God we get a feeling of breaking of all karma's and attaining Misha.
