I'll say! Who said that "philosophy is 'bullshit?'" If you do a search in this thread for the word "bullshit," you will find that there is only one sentence using that word.
To give you an idea of how egregious your understanding is, let me draw up an exact analogy to what you're doing...
"What these teachers propose is educational nonsense."
"You mean education is nonsense? I don't get it!"
I think you might be a little
niggardly with your common sense, there. You may have to think about this a little while longer, hmm?

atheism is a religion....
fundamentalists like to say that.
it says more about them than it does about its purported object.
on the other hand, the atheists who continue to operate as if christianity was a necessary frame of reference even for them provide fuel for that sort of statement.
so maybe in some cases, there is a bit of accuracy to it
but in the main, the sentiment is just, well, meaningless and--what is far worse for a meaningless statement--it is tedious.

If I understand you correctly, the whole "atheism is religion too" argument is meaningless and tedious. I can actually agree with this...
