Hi there,
I am an atheist and I would not class myself as religious. If I met another Atheist I would not presume anything in common with them except the lack of belief in a God or Gods.
Many Atheists believe in things I do not. They have different morals to myself, different world views, political beliefs and understanding of the world.
Is it the existence of Atheist organisations that leads you to call Atheism a religion?

Well there are many Christians here that I disagree with and they sure do disagree with me. But we still have common beliefs and so we are Christians though Im loath to call it a "religion". Would you say atheists have a common belief and worldview? I think that is why people may consider it a religion.
