Atheism is merely the dismissal of supernatural claims. Telling an atheist that man is greater than god is like telling a sane person that man is greater than a three-headed goat-boy. It's essentially meaningless.

A religion has some very particular qualities that atheism lacks. I don't think it can be said that atheism is a religion.

Atheism is the belief that if something is going to happen, man will make it happen.
Atheism does not necessarily preclude aliens, three-headed goat-boys, unicorns, celestial teapots, or fairies. All of these creatures can hypothetically "make things happen." But in practice, I suppose you're correct.

Quote:
Agnostic, is the religion of believing that religion doesn't exist.
I'm pretty sure everyone believes religion exists.
