It's a religion. Just like Catholicism is a religion.
Catholicism is worth the same thing as atheism. The absence of anything substantial.
See how that works. Your question implies you have no respect for your faith.
Of course it's not. The concept of "god" is incoherent without any coherent definition.
Do you believe in Pink Sparkly unicorns ? Do you have faith that there are no Pink Sparkly unicorns ?
Do you find it necessary to take a position with respect to Pink Sparkly unicorns ?
No. You dismiss the very idea. We dismiss the very idea of the gods as incoherent, and worth no consideration.
Dismissal is not religion, (unless you have so little regard for religion and equate dismissal as the same thing as your faith.)

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
