You'll appreciate the irony that alot of contemporary christians also say they don't see their religions as a religion.

I wouldn’t, for example, call Humanism an atheistic religion. It is an ideology not a religion. Sure religions can contain no belief in gods but they have to contain SOME belief in something supernatural. A religion is not merely a set of beliefs.
