We got into the disscussion of atheism today in Geography. Everyone except me says that atheism is a religion, but they are wrong, I know this. Here are some of their reasons:

Teacher said: its called philosophy.
Students said: Techincally its a religion because the US classifys it as a religion
Student said: If its a protest and belief it is a religion.

What I said: There is not a required philosophy that you must have to be an atheist.
Thats all I said, what else/how else are they wrong?
