Jainism is an atheistic religion. It is based on vegetarianism. It came before Buddhism, and also features the concept of reincarnation and karma. It has no gods, but just Thirthankaras (perfect souls). Its one of the few religions in the world with no criticisms. In its 2500 years of history, there has not been a single incident of violence or forced conversions or hatred towards other religions. Its number is just 4 million, but has a disproportionately huge impact on culture.
