Religion is a belief system about why the world and life exists. It's a belief about what we are here for.

With that said, atheism is a religion.

You know, now that I think of it, we atheists totally go to Non-Church every Sunday and worship Lack-Of-God while performing our Rites of Non-Belief. Oh, and we're also instructed by the Atheist Bible to fast on certain Non-Holy Days, make offerings to Saints Darwin, Dawkins, and Randi, and tithe a portion of our income to the National Science Foundation.

Yes, it appears that I've been denying it all along: atheism really is a religion. Thank you, Master Internet Logician thetonestarr, you have helped me see the light.

Actually, if you got to a unitarian church you can oddly find outright atheists there sometimes. Not agnostics either, straight out atheists who just like the show.  I'm pretty sure some atheists actually have "Anti-chruches" too where they just hang out every sunday.

There are at least 2 books titles "The Atheist's Bible" as well.

I don't get why everything is always a play off christianity.  It's never Anti-Temple or Atheists Qu'ran.

Though, either way those are poor definitions of religion as many people who consider themselves catholic for example, don't go to church, perform any rights, fast or read the bible.

I don't know anyone that gives a portion of their income to anything, aside from throwing some money in a collection plate like you would a Jerry's Kids box.

Though I do agree atheism isn't a religion.
