Atheists spend half their time unworshiping God, and other gods. They don't just 'not believe in God,' they unbelieve. The difference between 'not believing' and 'unbelieving' is that the latter requires a frequent assertion or thought that one doesn't believe. Atheists probably talk about God more than the average believer. So there is definitely a God, or gods, involved in atheism.
I'll use the Santa Claus analogy which atheists love to use so much. I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I don't have to constantly repeat that I don't believe in Santa Claus. People who don't believe in Santa Claus don't have to join forums for Santa non-believers. Catch my drift? The atheist religion is one where people share common beliefs, and spend a lot of time unworshiping (or maligning) God.
Unworshipping is the same as blasphemy, you're thinking of Not-worshipping.
We talk the same about god as everybody else the problem is that we're a minority(a growing one)and so we're far more noticeable, and other religions finds constantly time to pick on us and, after hundreds years of pissing contests(religious war) between religions, now they have one common enemy and we the atheists are tired of religious crap that slowed progress for at least a thousand years, and we're loud and vindictive.
VEN-DETTA!!
Because Santa didn't slow humanity evolution for a thousand years, and the belief of santa is a myth that isn't defended by anyone.
And you're wrong again Atheism is not a religion, what you're thinking is a life philosophy, and to our fallible but probable logic, the abrahic god is either malevolent or non-existing.
