It doesn't amount to a religion, for the same reason that atheism doesn't. A religion is a belief system, and although not all belief systems are religions, one opinion does not a belief system make.
Philosophically thinking you can reach any conclusions you aim to!
To me theism is the oldest social system on earth with anti-theism born out of reaction against the ills of theism.
Priesthood is theism’s army.

That’s where you are entirely wrong.
An anti-theistic system will be worshiping a god-hating or god-fighting god such as Loki or Seth.
Surely you know about theomachy. Gods have been fighting against gods since time immemorial and, of course, your own God is no exemption. He complains for rebellion. No?
Ever wondered why should anyone rebel against a righteous god/God?
