look at the definition of religion:
A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.
An activity you have pursued with zeal: claim that atheists have a religion.
So, is it safe to say your religion is to push the idea that atheists have a religion?

It indicates that he is a person who lives to deceive. He ignores the technical definition of religion in favor of an imprecise metaphorical definition of the word in order to repeat a lie over and over. Given that he has, indeed, committed to this cause, principle and activity with zeal and conscientious devotion, it follows that his religion is this one deception.
The definitions glossed over in the question otherwise copied word for word and pasted:
1.a. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
b. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.
2. The life or condition of a person in a religious order.
3. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.

He is not following a religion but an ideology!! He is perverting Christianity into something it is not and in doing so putting people off Christianity!!!
He will answer for it in the final coming but in the meantime he works for the Antichrist!

I am not in denial about having faith. It's the Atheists who are in denial about having faith. They say that they are practicing 'disfaith' or nonbelief' when in actuality they trust that they are right about their belief. That is faith when action is applied to the belief. That's what faith is. Of course, since words only make sense to Atheists when they agree with the words, they never get over their denial that:
1) They practice faith daily and are uneducated and unaware of it.
2) They are in denial about it,
3) They religiously follow after their own leaders,
4) They are blindly following that leader,
5) They are also in denial about their faith in the idea that there is no God,
6) They have no proof that they are right about that belief,
7) Their denial carries over into there actions: i.e. they react more to their faith than they are aware of or care to admit.
8) Their faith in the idea that there is no God affects them in more ways than just admitting they don't believe in a God.

That's right. Atheists also believe in something and it is their God given right (muhahahaha) to defend it! We all stand up for what we believe in.

an athiest is the exact opposite of everything a man of God beleives in.......so it is natural that he will teach against it.
