Atheism as a religion? Of course.
"Humanists are content with fixing their attention on this life...Theirs is a religion without God..."
Morain, Lloyd & Mary - HUMANISM AS THE NEXT STEP, (Boston: Beacon Press, 1954) p. 4
and a footnote in a SC issue.
"Among religions in this country which do not teach what would generally be considered a belief in the existence of God are Buddhism, Taoism, Ethical Culture, Secular Humanism and others."
U.S. Supreme Court Reports, Vol 6, L. Ed. 2nd ed. p. 987
What's the problem?
None of those mentioned atheism...other than mentioning that humanists tend to be atheists.
