I googled religion. You guys seem to fit.

There is no definition of 'religion' that applies to atheism.
Wrong. The anthropological definition of religion applies to atheism. In anthropology, your system of organizing the universe is your religion, and it is viewed that atheism is one such system. I'm not saying I agree with that, though. I think materialism/physicalism/naturalism would more be systems which people organize the world with, and atheism does not entail those philosophies.
