No it's not! Atheists don't worship anything or else they would be basically going against their belief! "Going along with your daily life" is not at all what worshipping means or is lol thinking that is pretty absurd. Maybe you should look up the word "worship" and then get back to me.

I'm not trying to insult atheism so don't take it that way. I'm just stating facts. No need to get so butthurt and insult me over the truth which you can't seem to accept. Atheism is not a religion. And you can go ahead and insult my religion, being Christianity, just don't call it something it's not, which is what you guys are doing with atheism.

Religion consists of:
1. Belief in supernatural beings (gods).
A distinction between sacred and profane objects.
2. Ritual acts focused on sacred objects.
A moral code believed to be sanctioned by the gods.
3. Characteristically religious feelings (awe, sense of mystery, sense of guilt, adoration), which tend to be aroused in the presence of sacred objects and during the practice of ritual, and which are connected in idea with the gods.
4. Prayer and other forms of communication with gods.
5. A world view, or a general picture of the world as a whole and the place of the individual therein. This picture contains some specification of an over-all purpose or point of the world and an indication of how the individual fits into it.
6. A more or less total organization of one's life based on the world view.
7. A social group bound together by the above.

The connection between religion and faith only goes in one direction, not both. Moreover, religionists in cases like this love to equivocate upon the term "faith." Faith has multiple meanings - not all of which are exactly the same. The sort of faith to which I refer above and which one might consider common among atheists is that of simple confidence based upon past experience. Moreover, that faith is not limitless - it should only go as far as evidence warrants. In religion, however, faith means a great deal more - it is, in fact, essentially a belief without or in spite of evidence.

Atheism is a disbelief, not a philosophy. My disbelief in the Tooth Fairy is not a philosophy of life - is it for anyone else? Furthermore, a philosophy of life is not necessarily a religion and it doesn't necessitate that a religious belief exists in the person with the philosophy. Now, adding to your "atheist have FAITH in their belief of no God." Response to "prove" atheism as a religion. Just because religion necessitates the existence of faith does not mean that the existence of faith (in whatever form) necessitates the existence of religion. I have "faith" in my moms love for me - is that a religion? Of course not. I have "faith" in a lot of things like my schools football team winning a game or my friends actually caring about me but are those things religions? Of course not, that'd be silly.

misunderstanding of what atheism is probably comes into play. Does atheism contain "...a philosophy by which to live?" Atheists certainly have philosophies by which they live. A popular philosophy might be Secular Humanism. Another might be objectivism. Still another could be some form of Buddhism. There is not, however, a clearly defined philosophy common to all or even most atheists. The belief in an objectively existing world is a common assumption, too - but the people who share it don't belong to a common religion, now do they? Besides, since many atheists don't believe that gods "exist" and, hence, aren't a part of "existence", that disbelief doesn't have to be seen as understanding "existence". I don't believe in the Tooth Fairy, and that disbelief isn't a means of understanding our existence, doesn't have an eschatology, and certainly has no clearly defined rules.

lol that's still doesn't make it a religion. For one thing, for it to be a religion it would also have to believe in a higher power which it doesn't. Whether it's a belief in a God(s) or the supernatural. As the term is normally used, atheism means not believing in any gods. That's as far as "understanding existence" goes with atheism. Other than gods, there's a lot of room for differences among atheists as to what they think about existence. Thus, atheism itself is not an "understanding", but a single commonality.
Also atheism doesn't have anything approaching "clearly defined rules?" Not in the least. There is only one "rule," and that is the rule of the definition of "atheism" - not having any belief in any gods. Other than that, atheists are free to do whatever they want and still be called atheists. An atheist can do and believe absolutely anything beyond gods and still fit the definition. Quite the opposite of how "rules" are treated in a religion. This is one area where a
