What's the difference?

Aside from the obvious alleged absence of gods, what is the difference between atheism and theistic religions?

Atheism is not a religion. It’s not even political party or movement. It’s a philosophy.
@eMortal Most modern day theistic religion is very political but so are most of the atheists I've come across. I think religion is more philosophy than atheism. Atheism has no cohesive philosophy that I can see. Just a sort of collective social/cultural frustration with theism. I wouldn't say that defines atheism in any way though, and only exists in a small percentage of atheists.
