Is atheism a religion if not why is it in religion and spirituality?

GMRCompany: Is atheism a religion if not why is it in religion and spirituality?
I just asked a questions to atheists and some answers were to post the question in religion and spirituality section. I don’t think atheism is a religion like Christianity is a religion. Or is it? If it’s not a religion why does it belong in religion and spirituality section?

Atheism isn’t a religion, but it pertains to the topic of religion. So it belongs there.

Answer by TeslaAmber(:
Atheism is being against religions, which, in a perspective is still a religion.

Answer by Dylan
They suggested you post it there because it’s mainly atheists bashing Christianity in that section.

It’s not a religion but the atheists in R&S are so militant it may as well be.

Answer by aha!
Atheism isn’t a religion because it doesn’t have a set of rules you have to follow.
the only thing atheists have in common is that we don’t believe in gods
it’s not spiritual either. so really, it shouldn’t be there. they should make a special atheist section.

Because no other section is quite as appropriate? Feel free to petition Yahoo to add a more appropriate section.

Answer by MusicTeacher
Just as religious people believe in God, atheists believe that there is no God. Like feminazi said, it belongs here because it is the negative of Religion. You couldn’t put in anywhere else because it is a belief system, just like religion is and it has to do with God, but just in the negative.
