The definition of atheist is twofold: the state either of being without theistic beliefs, or of actively disbelieving in the existence of deities.
Which are you?
The first is not a religion, it is a state. The second IS a religion, as it incorporates faith, faith in the non-existence of deities. All religions by definition must incorporate faith.
As far as for gays only, it depends on whether you believe that being gay is a choice or not. If it is a choice, I would submit that there are quite a few healthier choices out there. If it is not a choice, then a "gays only" religion is no better than a "whites only" or "blacks only" religion.
Just a few thoughts. As far as the name, it sounds like it might be descriptive, but only if you meet the conditions specified. Otherwise, you might want to think of a new idea.

No, homosexuality is not a religion. The term religion implies that there is a belief in a higher Being, sometimes a number of higher Beings.
If you want to start a church, gay or otherwise, you'll need to find a way to codify (create some governing system) what is and isn't ok behavior in your organization. You'll need to devise a way that membership is obtained... among other things....
From what I read in the Christian Bible, your organization probably shouldn't claim to be Christian or even based on the Bible. The Bible does condemn the way of life you seem to want to promote.
Nah- I don't like the name.. keep thinking...

No. I am gay,and do not believe as well, but there are many gays who are Christian and other religions. Plus, why bring attention to the fact that your gay as a first feature of yourself? I'm sure there are so many other good things you can say about yourself.

Gay isn't a religion, it's a lifestyle choice. Sorry.. but I think you can make a choice to be gay.. I know that will offend some, but it's like with anything in life, you have a choice to act on your feelings. Just because I want to get drunk, doesn't mean that I'm going to go out and do it. Just because I want to leave and go do what I want, doesn't mean that I should- my kids would be left alone and that would be really irresponsible of me.
Everything in life is a choice. You have the option of not acting on feelings, just like I do. Your choice doesn't have to effect me, so please don't make it that way!!

Religions serve no purpose, a relationship with God through Jesus Christ is the only true hope and truth.
