... Atheism is a religion in exactly the same way that not collecting stamps is a hobby...

True. I wouldn't call it a religion so much as a comprehensive worldview/knowledge claim. Similar but different.

It's not comprehensive tho. It's just a disbelief in one thing. We can have a variety of world views.

Not really, that is, if you're going for consistency. Consistent atheism=Nihilism. Everything else is borrowed religious philosophy.

That doesn't make any sense. Religious people can have a range of politics & philosophies and so can non-religious people.

You might attribute all that is good to your god (good book on this is Everybody is Wrong about God) but ppl who don't still value things.

Everything else is just being human. Family, friends, pets, career, interests leisure etc.

Yes, you value things arbitrarily according to subjective standards,& have no claim to any inherent, enduring meaning. It's called Nihilism.

The only problem with Nihilism is if someone tries to live consistently with it, but thankfully that's super rare b/c it's sociopathy.

You're not making any sense. You have picked your life's focus & I have picked mine. Only difference is religion isn't part of mine.
