If you mean indigenous as in 'inborn' then that might be a yes since we all start without theism. But 'religion' it's not. It would be hard to spin a lack of belief into being a religion.
This is why people who try to portray it as one must first redefine it. They have to define 'all atheists' as believing in one thing or another then claim they all believe this thing in some irrational way. When in reality the only commonality of all atheists is being 'not theists'.

Atheism is not a religion. An atheist doesn't believe in a god, so therefore has no need for the religion.

The word "atheism" itself potential the absence of a deity or god. My journey is that maximum atheists are pushed to think of heavily with regard to the guidelines of morality and decency in the direction of others precising simply by fact they don't have the waiting-made solutions provided by making use of religion. EG: David Hume in the 18th century argued that the actual foundation on morality is an innate human empathy that helps us to be sure ourselves in others' suffering and unhappiness. it relatively is this that restrains (maximum) us from intentionally harming others fairly some the time. it relatively is likewise why each and every of the religions have genuinely the comparable coaching even with thoroughly diverse ideals and doctrines. faith severe-jacks this innate ethical experience for its own applications, in many circumstances distorting it in the approach. however the universality of specific ethical precepts even whilst conditioned by making use of way of existence and massive form of religions in human background demonstrates that morality comes first, and faith is a relativistic cultural build.

Calling atheism a religion is like calling bald a hair color.

I should think so because someone came up with it.
ATHEISM is a religion because you believe that no God exists. YOU CAN"T KNOW THAT
