I agree your opinion in the fact that religion can be defined in several ways. First, the belief in a god (or gods) or in a supernatural power which controls human destiny, in this way atheism is not a religion but if we define religion as a way of life, the atheism is a religion.
And I would like to say that atheism is a religious orientation (living without gods) so I think more that it's a religion.

You said: "therefore it is very subjective and relative to each individual" so why do you say that atheist would better answer this question?
