So it happens that me and EvilThor are not from US and here in Norway Atheism is of course not a religion. Atheism means that you are sure there is no God, agnostic means you are unsure wether a God excists or not. None of these two are religions however.Atheism means that you do not believe in a God or some supernatural power causing the universe to run. But is not what a religion means. A religion is a set of personal believes that you have placed you faith into, whether it is related to the supernatural or not. Here is a definition from merriam-webster.com for proof.
Atheism is even protected under the first amendment of the united states and is recognized by the united states as a religion.1a : the state of a religious <a nun in her 20th year of religion>
