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?

Nope. A religion optimistically offers an explanation for worthwhile eternity. An atheistic religion is possible, though.

p.s. The chart is worthless. It fails to represent all four belief classes and cannot even begin to suggest which is true.

I gave the best answer, but don't expect recognition.
