    Yes, if it feels that way to you. Atheists don't tell you how to live your life, except that you should be good to others and respectful and responsible, etc.

    You can even have an imaginary god, as long as you realize it's imaginary.

    I can only answer for myself..

    There may be differing opinions. However:

    "To believe in a soul mate?"

    No. I don't believe in that concept, no. I believe there are lots of people on this planet who could possibly be a good match. Some are better than others. One will always be compatible with quite a few, and others one will just NOT be compatible with at all.

    "Is it possible for an atheist to love someone so much that it just feels like they are on the earth for one another and no one else?"

    Yes, it is. I have had that feeling in the past, and I hope I will experience it again. That's called true love.. I don't believe it is predestined or anything. It's all about chemical reactions in the brain. But still, that does not make it any less real. Or any less valuable. I enjoy it just the same as everybody else.

    Atheist means that "you don't believe in God"

    just that then your an atheist - its a huge category and it has many different kinds of denomination, and you're free to be not bounded by them.

    believe in what you want soulmates,heaven or whatever just don't believe in God then you are an atheist or maybe agnostic

    Look atheist can have/experience whatever anyone can have/experience

    except atheist are more a skeptic then theist

    How many of the six billion people on earth have you met to know that THIS mate is the only one you could possibly have loved that much?

    (You know how big a billion is? Six billion seconds is almost 200 years.)

    You can believe anything you want and still be an atheist, so long as deities aren't involved in the equation. Spirituality isn't exclusive to religion.

    Yes, you can stay being atheist. It doesn't matter whether you were made to be together on this earth, you have made it that way by your own actions and reactions. You made yourselves fit for eachother. Be happy with that accomplishment, rather than believing that someone else than you and him/her is responsible.

    Absolutely. Love is completely separate from religion(or lack there of).

    You can be any religion or have no religion and still feel love as deeply as anyone else.

    Atheism is the lack of belief in God.

    Other than that, they can believe anything they want.

    But not believing in God and also believing in soul mates kind of contradicts each other, in my opinion.

    I'm stumped! Very good question. *Starred*

    Edit: To Ash chup kaar kotheyah I understood that lolz
