No, atheism is not a religion. Atheism is the absence or lack of belief in the existence of deities or gods. It is a position that rejects theism, which is the belief in the existence of gods. While religions involve specific belief systems, rituals, and often organized communities centered around the worship of a deity or deities, atheism does not encompass any of these elements. Atheism is simply a stance on the question of belief in gods and does not encompass any broader doctrines or practices typically associated with religions. However, it is important to note that individuals who identify as atheists can still have their own personal beliefs, philosophies, or ethical frameworks that may guide their worldview.
