I don't see how lacking a fundamental belief system in some higher being or faith, which is what religion is, make it a religion? I don't know, I get this A LOT! I'm just about tired of it, in fact I was just in a debate about it, it makes no sense and it irritates me beyond imagination. Some Atheists I know even think science is BS! so No Science isn't a holy scripture or religious scripture either! It isn't based on blind faith.
Okay sorry for the rant.
What one believes can be considered religion. Most folks are a victim of their own imagination. Be careful with how you handle yourself, you could be wrong.
Nothing wrong with being wrong ....just don't repeat it and correct your errors of judgement/ discernment.
