It absolutely does not. Jainism is even stricter than Hinduism, to be co-opted with a faithless belief system

It's atheistic in that it's godless (more focused on saints). In its orthodoxy it requires a lot from any practitioner, towards its philosophy.
Atheism isn’t a faithless belief system, it is the absence of either a faith or a belief system.
That absence is also quite compatible with Jainism, the core moral precept of which is simply do no violence.
