If one believes in the supernatural (which I don’t) Karma and Samsara don’t stricly need agency. They could be emergent properties of underlying supernatural laws/processes.
They absolutely are incompatible with a rejection of the supernatural, but not with the simple rejection of the existence of a god (as in: a supernatural force with agency)
Dude. No. My atheism is a rejection of a proposition that god exists. Nothing more and nothing less.
My strong/gnostic atheism is a rejection of the concept that gods could exist, based on my rejection of the concept of the supernatural based on my conviction of the intellectual importance of methodological materialism and scepticism in everyday epistemology.
But atheism does not have to include ANY of the second paragraph, it is NOT identical with scepticism, nor with the rejection of everything supernatural, even if those often coincide.
And you are muddying and diminishing atheism by "no true scotsman"ing it here.

Try 4th Edition, I am having sooooo much fun! But if you want Spells to feel like more than just different flavors of damage/buffs/debuffs, I would recommend the addon “Magic - Deeper Secrets” that brings back a whole lot of the extremely creative spells from 2nd Edition.
And a happy cake day to you!
I keep repeating myself.
Bernie, AOC, Zohran Mamdani… conservatives shouldn’t be shocked by their popularity, they should be thankful.
Because electing popular lefty politicians through the system and working with the system to change the system is a compromise.
The working class has other means to defend itself from the overreach of the bourgeoisie inherent in the system, and everyone who wants to hold onto the current system should be extremely thankful that the working class doesn’t simply decide to violently overthrow it.
Uhhh, we need a list of YA fiction where the protagonist isn’t some special snowflake, born under a golden star, chosen one.
And if it is “A Practical Guide to Evil” she’s going to have detailed plans about how to stop the “good guys” from keeping her from helping the normal people.
