Yes Atheism is a religion. Don't feel left out.
My religion is Wicca. I'm a new comer to Paganism but I'm learning and growing each and every day.

How Atheism is a valid reiigon based on the 4 c's.
1. Creed: Follow common sense and be a good person.
2. Code: A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
3. Cult: (Culture) - Beleiving in science and not taking a falsehood for granted.
4. Community: Yeah...I'm pretty sure there is more than one Atheist.
Proof Atheism is a valid religion.
No I do not follow it, but I do respect it as any other beleif.

Atheism is a religion if bald is a hair color.
Atheism is a religion if the "off" button on a remote control is a channel.
:-)
Reference to points:
1. Creed: Follow common sense and be a good person.
Those are generalities. There is no unified creed for atheism. Atheism is defined as a lack of belief in gods. That is all. Is a-unicornism a religion, too?
2. Code: A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Varies by atheist.
3. Cult: (Culture) - Beleiving in science and not taking a falsehood for granted.
Science is a proven method for distinguishing between reality and fiction. Are people who believe in science considered atheists? Not all atheists are skeptics and not all lack belief in every element of supernatural thinking, just gods.
4. Community: Yeah...I'm pretty sure there is more than one Atheist.
Yeah, there is more than one atheist. But the only commonality is lack of belief in gods. Does that make us a religion by default?
If you want a philosophy that is atheistic in origin, try skepticism or secular humanism. But don't take one general phrase as a religion, because that is a bit of a leap. Hope this helps!

I too am Wiccan, and also new. My mother is Wiccan, but my father is Christian, and my family is Quaker, and one of my friends is Amish. But of all the influence I've had, the only religion I actually felt fit me was Wicca. I'm trying to learn as much as I can, but unfortunatly I live in the Southern United States which is not the easiest place to be.

¤Roman Catholic¤
Catholicism is a Christian denomination that believes in the Doctrine of the Trinity, or Blessed Trinity. Catholicism has seven sacraments (though the same sacraments the names differ from each rite due to language differences); they are: Baptism, the Holy Eucharist (also known as the Lord's Supper, Last Supper, or Holy Communion - Catholics also believe in the real presence), Reconciliation (otherwise known as Confession), Confirmation, Marriage (no gay/lesbian marriage), Holy Orders (being ordained - not for lay Catholics), and Anointing of the Sick (also known as Last Rites or Extreme Unction).

i don;t have a religion, i have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Religion is a set of rules. Rules can not change the core problem with humanity, sin. Only a changed heart can stop the desire to sin. and only Jesus can change the hearts of people. I have heard of Wicca. If i am correct its followers worship nature and magic. Nature is beautiful but its God that created it all. Just imagine how great is God if he can create such beauty and order on earth and in the universe.

Hi, welcome to the pool. Mind the deep end there, and make sure you wait at least half an hour after eating before going back into the water.
Urban Pagan ranging to agnosticism on occasion.
