''those that don't believe in God in any way or shape or form-''
In Buddhism there is no God or creator because in Buddhism being exists since forever .Creation needs a begining point so it can't match with the reality of self.
What you call God ,native Indians were calling the Great Mystery aka Life and it shoes itself by way of synchronicity.
If there is no God or Creator then everything is the source of itself in this Life.Each of its own. We exist as us and our perception.
I have seen a spirit and i have seen the same spirit in me when i had an out of body experience and looked at my hands to see how they look like.It was the same both in me and in the women spirit i saw in my house.We are blue white transparent in spirit.We are human spirits ,immortal as it seems and going through many incarnations.
The biggest lesson i learnt is that my home is not heaven.I am not alien to earth.My home is earth as a human being.
