I often hear some theists say atheism is a religion because the courts said so, even when it doesn't fit the definition of a religion:

Religion: A set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of life and the universe, especially when considered as the creation of a supernatural agency, or human beings’ relation to that which they regard as holy, sacred, spiritual, or divine.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion



Atheist: A person who does not believe in any gods.

Nor does it fit the defintion of faith:

Faith: Confidence or trust in a person or thing
2. Belief that is not based on proof:
3. Belief in god or in the doctrines or teachings of religion

Who's being willfully dishonest here?
