Atheism is a religeon in the same way that not collecting stamps is a hobby.
It is a theistic belief structure and therefore a religion.
So not believing in unicorns is a religion too? Atheism is just a lack of belief in gods, not a belief that there isn't one.
I thought atheism was the belief that there is no God, while agnosticism was the mere absence of belief in God.
Agnostics can go either way. That deals with lack of knowledge. You can not know and still believe or not believe. Most atheists I know are agnostic atheists. They don't see a reason to believe in gods given the lack of evidence as a default position but believing there isn't one would require faith. Kinda like not believing in unicorns. Somebody may find one someday wandering around in the jungle but it seems unlikely.
