I’ve seen people claim “no, it’s just a philosophy.” I think it’s clearly not theistic, but there are sects that definitely believe in “spooky” forms of karma or reincarnation.
The worst part about this question is how it caused people to take sides, disagree, argue, and get into some rather heated debates. While healthy debates can promote intellectual growth, some of what I've seen in this thread leans more towards stubborn anger. Is it really worth it to get so worked up on such a trivial question?
