regardless of your side of the a/theism aisle, i would argue that the question 'is atheism a religion' isn't appropriate. the question is, i think: are some people dogmatic in their beliefs.
atheism is not, by definition, a religion. it's a categorization for people who do not believe in theistic viewpoints.
people can be, and are, dogmatic in their approach to atheism. and theism.
both sides can find common ground when they don't memorize the rules, but rather question them, and use them and discard them as appropriate.
at least that's my take, at this particular point in time.
edit: holy shit, did i forget some words and some grammar.
