"upstart atheists? The only thing that is concretely similar between atheists is not believing in a deity. If a similar belief (or disbelief as this case is) constitutes a religion to you, then practically anything can be termed "religion" and we might as well throw the dictionary, english vernacular, and definitions of words into the trash.

And why?

Just because you want to say that atheists have a religion.
