Hi JoeBlow,

I identify with the atheist label and have a problem with literal rebirth or reincarnation. There are actually examples of Gautama Buddha arguing against the transmigration of a consciousness or a soul. Such as this one.

You also don't need to accept every part of Buddhism as true to commit to the practice.
