2. a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects: the Christian religion; the Buddhist religion.
3. the body of persons adhering to a particular set of beliefs and practices: a world council of religions.
4. the life or state of a monk, nun, etc.: to enter religion.
5. the practice of religious beliefs; ritual observance of faith.
6. something one believes in and follows devotedly; a point or matter of ethics or conscience: to make a religion of fighting prejudice.

According to 2, 3, and 6, Atheism is a religion.

It doesn't fit into those. Atheist believe there isn't a god and that's it. There isn't a specific set of beliefs or practices they all do.

Ya know?

Atheism isn't a religion
just like not stamp collecting isn't a hobby

don't be fooled by the fact that places like myspace allow you to pick that and non religious (which are more less the same thing) as 2 different choices
