Is Atheism a Religion? Why or why not?

Atheism has a belief, but that doesn't make it a religion. Just like "I believe there is no Santa Claus" is not a religion.

Nishant Xavier Wrote:No such thing as an atheist government? Certainly there is. North Korea for e.g.

North Korea is a place where people believe that their leader is a god who came from heaven, can change the weather, can fly, does not go to the bathroom, so it is Cult of Personality government.
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"
