Do you consider atheism a religion? [Spirituality & Religion]
I was looking at this graph, and I was surprised to see atheism listed on the side. This graph represents the "educational attainment of U.S. religious groups." This post isn't about that specifically, although you're more than welcome to address it if you so wish. It is, however, an example of how atheism is often considered a religion. What are your thoughts?

Atheism is simply the disbelief or lack of belief in a god or gods. That's it. There is no system of worship or belief. You can be an atheist and reject science, you can be an atheist and think aliens seeded life on this planet.
The only thing that necessarily connects one atheist to another is that they do not hold a positive belief that at least one god exists.
