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?

Personally, I don't believe that Buddhism is a religion, but it is now considered to be a "non-theist religion." Atheism, by definition, is not a religion but simply a lack of belief in God or Gods.
Interesting data in that graph, though. Would be interesting to see if the data is the same now.
