If an atheist denies the supernatural, how is it anything like religion? I'd say its more of a belief. You can't compare religion and atheism simply because they are both beliefs. Lots of things are beliefs and you can't just lump shit up like that. Doesn't work.
religion was fairly well defined.

and athiesm is fairly well defined as a religion that is anti-religion.

# a strong belief in the lack of any supernatural power, or powers that controll human destiny
# a disorgonized institution that expresses it's strong belief that there is no divine power.
