Atheism isn't a religion. It has no organization or structure at all. It has none of the characteristics that define a religion. Atheist is simply an English term meaning someone who doesn't believe in a higher power. There's no Big Atheist Club or World Council of Atheists.

Because the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Science and Reason is an English organization.

Atheism is only a religion in the sense that zero is a number. Government bureaucrats are not that sophisticated.

Because Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens can't agree on who's to be the titular head of the new order.

Because Christians only support there own cause. The U.S. is known as a Christian nation...It's funny that Christians are the ones who talk about not being judgmental, and being pure in heart when in fact they are the most judgmental and evil people out of any group alive.

One of my favorite observations on the idea that atheism is a religion is "Atheism is a religion like bald is a hair color."

I'm a Christian and I tell you that atheism is the ABSENCE of religion. They believe in NO religion.
