Atheism is by no means a religion. It is simply the non belief in ANY gods and the rejection of theistic claims on the subject.
There are many brands of atheism from those who claim there are no gods to agnostic atheists like myself. I don't claim there are no gods, I simply have not seen any convincing evidence for one and will not blindly believe "on faith".
The burden of proof is always on those making the claim, never on those who reject it. Whenever I've asked for evidence I've always been presented with arguments from incredulity "how can all this exist without a higher power?" to personal revelations, "god spoke to me!", to citing the bible as evidence.
These are not evidence and the bible is proof that people wrote the bible (and were really bad editors at the time).
