No one ever says "Polytheism is a religion" or "Monotheism is a religion", so why then **** is saying "Atheism is a religion" any less nonsensical??

A belief (ie. dieties do not exist) is not " a set of beliefs", it is just one, singular, belief.

It would be possible to have an Atheistic religion, but Atheism in an of itself is no more a religion than Polytheism or Monotheism by themselves. Please create your own thread to argue semantics. It's just sad to see it here.
