A stance on whether God exists or not is not a religion. Both theism and atheism are such stances and so are not religions.

Every time a Christians denies evolution, my Christian father sheds a tear.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Theism and atheism are differing opinions on a single topic. They are not belief systems. They are not religions. They are states of being: thieism is the state of believing God (or gods) exists and atheism is the state of not believing God (or gods) exists. It's SO simple! Yet we go 'round and 'round on it.
