Why does something need to take it's place?
Atheism certainly requires no faith or ceremonies or any of the things religion calls for. What I am saying is that religion has never played a part in my life and I have no desire to fill any imagined void that its absence creates.
Its human nature, so many need something to cling to, most of us who are adults are still really children, we drop the belief of father x-mas, but we then replace it with some other belief, and as long as there are others who believe in what we do, we feel comfortable within our chosen belief.
