Is Atheism a Religion?

I note that while Christians here seem to show amazing zeal in attacking the positions of atheism and Islam, I have not found an instance where they attack others (such as mine).

And while I have read many posts triumphantly proclaiming that their faith is superior to atheist rationalism, I have not yet read a post as to why (hopefully with evidence, but I am not that deluded) their particular faith is superior to the thousands of others postulated by humankind over history, argument about holy war and Inquisition aside.

But I am not expecting a post about it now, either.

It was St Augustine of Hippo (arguably a Christian) who coined the Wiccan Rede (in Latin): Love, and do what thou wilt, now generally cited as "if you harm none, do what you will." But love and harming none seems to be beyond modern Christian theology to me.
