The popular form of Atheism today qualifies as religion. I think there is a definite difference between an unbiased inquiry into the truth vs. atheism (which is more like advocacy of a belief). Also, what is it with the popularity of ridicule ? This seems to be an atheistic ritual similar to the Puritans who would shame the sinners in order to reinforce their beliefs and enhance their feelings of goodness.
Definition of Religion: the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, esp. a personal God or gods.
Atheism is not a religion.
