Do you guys think I am mad for this? I'd be interested to hear the thoughts of the atheist community on this topic.

Kinda late to the party.

Anyway, I say no, you ain't mad. I'm in the same boat. I call myself a secular Buddhist, meaning I embrace the more rational parts of Buddhism like mindfulness and meditation, but reject the supernatural mumbo-jumbo like reincarnation or karma.
