Religion is a belief or set of beliefs in the Supernatural, mainly God(s). I'm not sure some of you fit Atheism into that as it is the total Lack of Belief in any such thing as the Supernatural or God(s).
I'm sure Atheists are just as different as individuals as anyone else in any other group is.

Atheism is the disbelief[1] in the existence of any deities.[2] It is contrasted with theism, the belief in a God or gods. Atheism is commonly defined as the positive belief that deities do not exist, or as the deliberate rejection of theism.[3][4][5] However, others—including most atheistic philosophers and groups—define atheism as the simple absence of belief in deities[6][7][8] (cf. nontheism), thereby designating many agnostics, and people who have never heard of gods, such as newborn children, as atheists as well.[9][10] In recent years, some atheists have adopted the terms strong and weak atheism to clarify whether they consider their stance one of positive belief (strong atheism) or the mere absence of belief (weak atheism).[11][12][13]
Many self-described atheists share common skeptical concerns regarding supernatural claims, citing a lack of empirical evidence for the existence of deities. Other rationales for atheism range from the philosophical to the social to the historical. Although atheists tend toward secular philosophies such as humanism, rationalism, and naturalism, there is no one ideology or set of behaviors that all atheists adhere to.[14][15][16]
In Western culture, atheists are frequently assumed to be irreligious or non-spiritual.[17] However, some religious and spiritual beliefs, such as several forms of Buddhism, have been described by outside observers as conforming to the broader, negative definition of atheism due to their lack of any participating deities.[18][19] Atheism is also sometimes equated with antitheism (opposition to theism) or antireligion (opposition to religion), despite many atheists not holding such views.

Practice your free-throws. According the the Prophecy layed out in 1 Corinthians: "Free throws winneth games. So sayeth the Lord".

Atheists don't "practice" anything.
That's kind of the point.
However, there are spiritual belief systems, such as Buddhism, which are atheistic and do have some practices. However, there is no "atheist practice".

What they 'do' is not believe that there is a god or gods.
I imagine that they practice anything they want to get better at.

We practice life I guess.
We don't feel that we need to be scared into behaving and obeying a religion, and that we can be good and moral all by ourselves.
