Default Atheists : I think we agree with the Shinto belief, on this one?

Shinto does not split the universe into a natural physical world and a supernatural transcendent world. It regards everything as part of a single unified creation.

Shinto also does not make the Western division between body and spirit - even spirit beings exist in the same world as human beings.

I'm pretty sure atheists don't believe in "spirit beings" at all.

I sure don't.

hum, OK! Yeah! Why worry about our worlds creation. For all we know, the great collapse has occurred zero or an unimaginable number of times before. Regardless, it is near meaningless to our existence.

i believe in this world and i believe in neurons firing off in my brain.

There is only ONE thing all atheists share, and that is our disbelief in god(s). Anything else, like your spirit stuff, depends on the person.
