If we define religion as a relationship with the Sacred. Atheism is either rejection of the sacred or disbelief in the Sacred. That is a relationship to the Sacred, be it negative one or a disbelief one.

However religion hasn't ever really been defined all that much.

Personally, I can say Arabic word of the meaning, yes Atheism is a religion. I'm not too sure about English definition

For example someone mentioned hair. What color is your hair is no brainer. Baldness has nothing to do with it. However "what is your hair style", then you can say "I am bald" and that is a hair style.

Your relationship with the Sacred is that of disbelief or denial. Whatever which it is, it's a stance.

With Arabic word, it's about your system of obedience. If you don't obey and submit to God and his guidance, you either obey your perceptions that may or may not be guided or you obey others who may or may not be guided. I know it's easy to be misguided to a degree and be of the people that are mixing guidance with misguidance, truth with falsehood, goodness with evil, and don't have a clear distinguisher between darkness and light, and the path of guidance and the path of misguidance, mixing that and this, and being happy with eating both filth and pure blessings, and mixing them together.

Those who want the pure path, pure blessings, being from uncleanness, ought to search those who God himself declared pure and made the way towards him and has given a clear miracle and sign and proofs regarding them, and not people claiming purity for themselves and thus claiming authority with no clear evidence from God.

1) What the eff is "The Sacred"? Is that a body part? I think you're making it up.

2) People's ability to be misguided is well-documented. That's why we invented the Scientific Method, which has mechanisms in place to correct for human error, and to check and recheck the conclusions and the data continuously until a firm consensus can be reached.

3) Bald is both a lack of hair (thus no color) and a choice of hairstyle, but it is never going to be a hair color. You cannot describe one's hair when they have none. We choose to be atheists as a person might choose to get rid of their hair, but you will never be able to describe the type of hair they have because there isn't any. On the other hand, a better analogy might be to say that we are all bald, in this example, and yet people keep telling me that they have this stuff called hair, which I can't see, and that their hair is blue, brown, red, black, or blonde... and each color-group tells me that the other people are all wrong about their hair, and that all the other color groups are actually bald... but keep insisting that THEY have hair.

Is not believing that a monster lives under my bed a relationship with a monster living under my bed?

I don't think atheism constitutes a religion, but I think the definition of religion is more broad than we believe to be. In theory, a single spiritual belief that is common among X group of people is enough to constitute a religion - Everything else is accessory if we don't want to commit the no true scotsman.
