Okay, I went to Catholic school for a number of years, and we learned that "religion" is a belief in a supernatural power (or powers, for those who believe in many different gods), or in other words, a supreme being. So, Christians believe that God is the supreme being, but atheists don't believe in a supreme being at all. That's why I don't think Atheism is a religion. It lacks a belief in a supernatural power.
