Is no Religion a Religion.

[Sejanus]

Also, how exactly does a few people who call themselves atheists requesting a chaplain make atheism a religion?

Not all the SS were atheists ,less than half . But they had no chaplains.

That's irrelevant, and doesn't answer my question. Also, how do you know what proportion of the SS were atheists? I'm pretty sure there weren't any publicly atheist SS going around at that time.
