What is the religion before the atheism then?
I'm not sure I understand the question. Rephrase, in any case, in response to the possibility, why not? People make up batshit religions out of nothing all the time, you know, like islam.

However, for something to be an "atheist religion" ala "christian religion" it would have to go along the lines of
"because I do not believe in gods I should" yadda yadda yadda- the religious bit would have to follow from the absence of belief (as the religious bit is purported to follow from the belief bit in other religions - a point which i would contest - by the by)- which is a non-starter. Not that this could really stop people, as I mentioned above, they're all no-starters and we do it anyway.
