Is jainism is based in atheist model
No. Jainism is not an atheistic (god-denying) system. It is considered non-theistic or agnostic in the sense that it does not posit a creator god responsible for the universe or its moral order.
Key points:
- Jainism rejects the idea of a supreme creator who runs the universe or judges souls.
- It emphasizes that liberation (moksha) comes through one’s own effort: right belief, right knowledge, and right conduct (the path of purification and self-discipline).
- Powerful beings like gods exist in Jain cosmology, but they, too, are bound by karma and are not creators or ultimate controllers of the cosmos.
- Both major traditions (Digambara and Śvetāmbara) share this non-theistic stance regarding a creator; they differ on other doctrinal details, but neither holds that a personal God created everything.
If you’d like, I can share brief quotable passages from Jain scriptures that reflect this non-creator view and explain how Digambara and Śvetāmbara interpretations differ.
