Atheism is absolutely not a religion. Religions necessarily require faith, whereas atheism requires none. (assuming you weren't raised by, say, Jimmy Swaggert—in other words, taking information only from nature itself) There is no readily visible proof of anything other than the material world, so any belief system that doesn't include non-material entities doesn't count as a religion.
Atheism is not a belief system. It doesn' t consist of an integrated system of doctrines, beliefs, and ideas that are used to provide guidance and stability in people' s lives. Atheism implies no further belief system. It implies no beliefs about politics, no philosophy, no beliefs about society, no beliefs about science, no beliefs about religion. If you know that a person is an atheist, then you know that he or she lacks belief in gods. Nothing more, nothing less. Atheism can be part of a religion, but it can' t be a religion by itself.
