Anthropology defines religion as a system of belief that organizes the universe and informs the worldview of a person. I actually personally don't agree that atheism itself is such a system; I think actually something like materialism, physicalism, or naturalism is.I've picked you up on this point before: http://atheistforums.org/post-415058.html#pid415058
I know you don't agree but please can you tell me where you're getting this definition from? Since anthropology is a valid study, it surprises me that the field could contain such an erroneous definition.
It's what I've been taught in anthropology classes since 101.
