and just btw, searching Google for "atheism as a religion" , you find 2,870,000 pages.

so what do you think?
Ugghhh there are 29,300,000 results for "a dog is a cat" (no quotes) in Google. It doesn't make it true.

The definition of "religion" is as follows:
a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny; "he lost his faith but not his morality"

The definition of "atheism" is as follows:
the doctrine or belief that there is no God

now if we use the word "God" or "god" as "supernatural power" (the supernatural being conceived as the perfect and omnipotent and omniscient originator and ruler of the universe; the object of worship in monotheistic religions) then it is not possible to be atheist and call it a religion

by definition religion is belief in a higher being.

Satanism is a religion. Atheism is not. Which is worse? That's for you all to decide.
