*ahem* It isn't a religious statement to say "I *don't* believe in (a) god..." That's where you're messing up, by defining atheism (small a, please) as a positive statement ("I believe that there is no god." You're confusing a lack of faith with faith in a lack.
Religion is a faith a belief in something that can not be proven. As such you can not prove that God does not exist. Therefore a atheist is by defination and accourding the Supreme Court Judgement a religion. It is the faith or belief of no God. It is the religion of pure rationalization and material sciences. It does everything religion does.
It tells you where everything came from, what is our purposes here, and what happens when you die.
But the idea of religion is subjective and can blur with the idea of philosophy. Some "religions" are mearly philosophy while some "philosophys" appear to more like a religion.
