Religion = Belief of some form of theism
Atheism = anti-theism
For a set of beliefs to actually be considered a "religion" there must be a belief of theism. Atheism does not have a belief of ANY form of theism.
Ask most atheists, ones that aren't dead set on spreading their belief, they don't consider themselves as a religious cult.
