Because atheism is more of a religion that formal religions are.
Guess not, atheism as well as the atheist doesnt concern ourselves to religious aspects and conflicts. What you seem think of us is a bit off the line and that doesnt really describes what we really are. Like I said the only different thing from you and us is that we can easily understand every situation we're in. We don't concern ourselves into the limitless discrimination on this world. We just live for who we think we need to.
Well I dont intend to defend atheism from what you think from us, I'm just explaining the right thing. Anyways have a happy living. Religous persons will not be able to understand what we mean as for they are bound by a book. Its something like called curse.

Let's see, now. Numbers 1, 2, 3, 5 (religious - The boy religiously repaired his bike.), 6, and 8, all fit atheists in varying degrees. Take a look at the atheist scientists. Science is their religion. The use of the Greek alphabet and words in their scientific activities is part of their ritual.
The more a person is an adamant, proclaiming atheist, the more he has made atheism a religion for himself.
