I would like to propose that religion (all religion) is a form of psychological abuse. And that includes fanatical atheism which looks everyday more and more like a form of 'negative religion'

Not believing in something is not a religion.

@attila You could make a case that Hard Atheism or Militant Atheist (as opposed to Agnostic Atheism, Skeptical Atheism, or Practical Atheism) constitutes a belief system of sorts if it actually involves "believing" that there definitely is no god/s. However, a belief does not constitute a religion. Religion involves worship. One cannot worship or venerate a non-existent being.
Atheism isn't a religion or negative religion... It's a lack of believe in God or Goddesses..

Atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby.

@attila Whoa, are you saying that a lack of belief is a belief ? (oxymoron). IMO most atheists don't assert "there is no god".
