No, Atheism isn't a Religion

It's really obvious when you learn to read.

If atheism is a religion we should be getting some fucking tax exemptions, I'll say that much.

Bollocks! Now that they have proven that atheism is a religion, maybe we should give it a new name which reflects this - for instance Atheitarianism.
Considering how many things there are which I think don't exist, I must be the most religious person in the world!

Yes it is.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

It certainly makes for a better spectator sport.

Maybe, just maybe, for the ones who have gone completely militant about atheism and turned it into a lifestyle - - I could see your point. Most militant atheists are gnostic, they say that they KNOW god doesn't exist, and they won't be happy until the world agrees with them. Inasmuch as they are acting exactly like the worst proselytizing xtians out there - - you might say that being a "loud and proud atheist" is their religion.
Still, the problem there is, that they don't believe that god exists. They don't follow a leader, have regular worship or group meetings. They are usually loners, who often disagree with other atheists on many things.
So I would call it an obsession and a lifestyle, certainly, and as you pointed out in another thread, something that is of great importance to them. But they aren't worshiping anything, other than their belief that they are right.

Indeed, I love watching people not play golf!
