An Atheist is not a religion when you speak 'bout religion,it means there's a particular system religious belief and worshiping a God or gods and anything done and followed with the reverence on the Almighty while the word Atheist ...is a person who ignores his duties to God...Its belief that God doesn't exist.A person who has no beliefs in religion. There's no such thing Atheist is a religion...this two words is like water and oil that don't blend, isn't homogenous

Many Christians often think that atheism is a religion and will blindly try to prove that it is. Atheist are individuals that don't have a belief in any gods, and that is the only thing that they have in common.
Edit:
Christians are atheists to every god but one, so technically they are closer to atheists than a pantheist, hindu, or any religion that accepts multiple gods...

What the others here have said, except atheists don't "believe in nothing." Of course we do. We are people, just like everyone else, with hopes and dreams, etc. We just don't believe in a god or gods.
Don't let anyone tell you we're lacking in morals/don't know right from wrong either; it just isn't true :)

It's not a religion, but a belief. Atheist means "no god". There is nothing else that it encompasses except the belief that there is no god. They can believe anything else that they want, however.

Atheist is one who does not believe Supreme being exists - an old definition. I think atheist is one who does not believe in Self !

—Synonyms Atheist, agnostic, infidel, skeptic refer to persons not inclined toward religious belief or a particular form of religious belief. An atheist is one who denies the existence of a deity or of divine beings. An agnostic is one who believes it impossible to know anything about God or about the creation of the universe and refrains from commitment to any religious doctrine. Infidel means an unbeliever, especially a nonbeliever in Islam or Christianity. A skeptic doubts and is critical of all accepted doctrines and creeds.

Saying atheism is a religion is like saying "Not Collecting Stamps" is a hobby.
