Because they want to put atheists in the same group as them. It's just another example of grasping at straws becayse theists don't have anything substantial to defend with. If they did, we wouldn't still be debating these things thousands of years after the religions started. We fight against putting religion in classrooms, so they claim atheism is a religion and accuse us of being hypocrites.

Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
