I don't care if someone thinks atheism is a religion or not.
Nice.
But it does have real world implications for you, if the idea gains traction and enough people believe it. Just take as an example, how poorly we controlled the corona virus because a large enough number of people believed conspiracy theories about it.
As long as they're going to insist on giving religions special rights, then yeah, sure man, atheism's a religion. I'm very devout.
Atheism is a religion as much as being bald is a hair colour.
An atheist can be spiritual or whatever but like I hope this person doesn't pull something with those mental gymnastics.
Atheism is a religion like off is a channel on TV.
Like bald is a hair color
They don't understand the difference between belief and faith. I believe many things, but have no faith in them. I will take contrary evidence into account.
I'm on mobile so won't type it super elaborately, but there is an interesting thing here about science education.
They don't really have the background to do elementary experiments to prove things, and many schools have under funded labs. Further many textbooks don't talk about the development of how we got to our current state; just how it works. More modern experiments require complex instruments; can't just borrow the large hadron collider for a weekend. As such we depend on papers published. I think that could give a similar vibe to Sunday School.
This is so backwards it's funny. We do those experiments in grade school all the way thru HS.
It's more than that; they don't understand the difference between belief and non-belief.

No, it's not faith. If someone proves a god exists... I'll stop believing there are no gods.
Downvote all you want, I'm an atheist, but some of you absolutely treat atheism like a religion
Yes, but with a reason.
No-one has committed atrocities like genocides in the name of atheism, no-one justifies crimes with atheism, no-one tries to ruin lives with atheism.
Religion, any religion, cannot claim the same

Simple answer to this:
If your imaginary friend can provide proof of its existence, I will accept that it exists. Until such time; I will go with the null hypothesis; your god doesn't exist.
But don't feel special, because I believe that no gods exist.

Held to with ardor and faith.
That's a belief, not a religion. I will admit that given that we have no way to prove that A god exists or not, we can only held beliefs of the fact, never certainty. Sure. It's not a fucking religion, a belief can be widespread without having an organisation that defines it and guides peo0pe around it, that's a religion.
Also, "one of the definitions of..."? So they cherry pick one of several definitions, understand it and apply it incorrectly and think that they won the thought experiment? Shaaame.
Now watch Kirk Cameron explain a banana.
Is that the one where he thinks a banana is proof of god because it fits in the hand nicely and some other stupid shit?
Ha.
After 5 president terms you'd think they'd get new material but it's like the kid at school that claimed they invented yo mama jokes.
They'll tell themselves anything to make themselves feel safe / right.
There are an infinite number of non-beliefs. Only beliefs matter, and here's where many people lose their minds, non-belief is more accurately refactored into a belief and can therefore be aggregated as a religion, as a matter of sematics.
