It's so far from being a religion, it's hard to see how anyone could think that.
Most people don’t look it up or educate themselves on it, they see the ism and assume the rest. You know, the same method most Americans used to vote giving us the wonder of Trump, king of the ignorant.
@ArdentAtheist, that's true.
Or alternately
Calling atheism a is like calling celibacy a sexual position
Celibacy IS a sexual position -- a mental one not a physical one!
