Perhaps the better question is: What is religion? Since atheism means "being without religion" ("a-" meaning "without", "-theos" meaning "religion," and "-ism" meaning "actively being" (or something similar)), what do we define as religion? Suggested read here: The World's Religions by Houston Smith.
However, as a Christian with atheist friends, atheists can be just as buttholish about atheism being right as Christians can be about Christianity being right (not that anybody here is like that). I just can't stand people (Christian, Atheist, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Shinto, Rastafarian, Taoist, Unitarian, Confucianist, ect. people alike) bashing other people's religion. Show some respect people.
