Atheism is a religion.

[Mister Agenda]

Can you name two different things for which all atheists stand? We can't even all agree on the proper definition of atheist.

I can name one, lack of belief in gods or belief that no gods exist. This is enough for us to consider it a position or a worldview, not a wide view but a small one.

It would be if the former belief didn't contain the latter, and was some sort of stance rather than merely a description of a mental state. The second fits the bill better, but that's only one, and most atheists don't share it.

I didn't mean to say all atheists share common views, and either way the word use in portuguese is 'mundividência' that means more or less 'worldview' but the meaning is not exactly the same, it equals more or less a way of being in society, a position, the position of lack of belief in gods. This is what the guy meant, but he never intended to make atheism a religion, quite the opposite.

People who share the same worldview share at least some common views. Sharing one doesn't seem to quite add up to a commonality in worldviews.

That said, I think I get the qualification you're trying to make.

I think if anyone asks me if I am an atheist I will probably just tell them I just think for myself. I am beginning to dislike the label. Conversations about religion will in any case be very short. I just can't be bothered wasting energy on discussing or even listening to what someone else thinks about skydaddy.

I've always wondered why does a word exist to describe people who don't believe in something... Is there a word for people who don't believe in aliens? Or dragons? Unicorns? No... So why is there the word atheist?

Same reason we need a word for people who are apolitical. Most people are political, so it's a distinction when someone isn't, so we need a term for it. We don't need a term for someone who doesn't believe something almost no one else in the world believes either.
