Well, technically speaking:
wikipedia Wrote:A religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems, and world views that relate humanity to an order of existence.

By certain broader definitions of religion, secular humanism could be considered one.

Atheism, on the other hand, still wouldn't be classified as one.
