No, Atheism isn't a Religion

[CapnAwesome]

Yes it is.

You know, I'd need to hear your definition of a religion but from my experience people who claim Atheism is a religion modify their definition of a religion intentionally to fit Atheism in. They also end up with a definition so broad that basically any belief, negative or positive, about the supernatural becomes 'a religion.' When something's definition becomes so broad that it includes everything, that definition becomes worthless.

For me a religion needs at least some of the trappings of a religion, like clergy, temples, etc.
