But either way, I do consider it a religion. Certaintly not one that believes in a God or any godlike figure, but that is still believing in something right? Even if that believing is believing in nothing. Make any sense? Probably not.

But hey, I tried.

Then, theres when I'm talking about all that stuff together, I'd really rather just say all religions rather than Religious, Agnostics, and Atheists. Really, that just gets annoying when you're having a conversation about religious stuff all together.
Believing in one thing does not make a religion though, as number man said religion is a set of beliefs. Also let me correct your statement and say that atheist don't "believe in nothing", that is a misconception. All we don't believe in is a god or gods and that is as far as the relationship between all of us can go.
