That is the mentality of the Christians: they accuse everybody that they are following a religion - wrong religion that is (devil). It starts back with Paul who said "their god is the belly" in Philippians 3:18. And ever since then they have been accusing everybody of having a religion like let's say an astronomy club: "you know they get together and talk about something it must be a religion", so they were burning people for that. So no wonder Christiand accuse people with no belief in supernatural of being religious.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
