Why do religious people desperately want to class Atheism as a religion?

An ideology in the sense that a lot of atheists have a set of common ideals and ideas that go beyond just the disbelief in God.

That may be conformation bias. I can personally list many atheists whose views on virtually any other subject are diametrically opposite to mine.
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. — Edward Gibbon
