Okay, I'm aware that this is kind of nitpicky, but it bothered me.
Athiesm is not a belief in something. It is the
lack of belief in something (God).

I suppose by definition four that one could claim athiesm to be a religion, but this would only be true when someone
actively does not believe in God, which is usually not the case. Disbelief in something is fairly passive activity, wouldn't you say?
