Atheism isn't considered a religion because most religions have it so you have to fallow a set of rules, codes, ect. Being an atheist is just having a lack of belief in god and that is all.

Is a lack of belief in aliens, ghosts, or big foot considered a religion at all? Then why a lack of belief in god? All because it apposed what most religions fallow does not mean it itself is a religion. If it did then that mean their would be a lot of people who are apart of tons of religion just because they didn't believe in something.
There's many different denominations of religions all holding various beliefs, none being similar. Religion is used to explain the cause and purpose of the universe. Regardless of what you believe you are in a sense pertaining to some sort of religion.
