I'm assuming from his hateful, atheophobic bigotry that he is a Christian. The Hindus and Baha'i, for example, don't post like he does. Muslims do at times, but in this forum, they are outnumbered a hundredfold.
Your attacks on atheism are unprovoked. You've simply been taught to hate atheists, and you have passively absorbed that bigotry. The response of people like me, who despise these religions of hatred, is called antitheism, and is justified. It is the idea that organized religion is a bad idea and a net harm to society, and opposition to religion is an appropriate response to an ideology of hatred calling itself a religion of love. Sorry, but all I feel is hatred from people like you..
People don't hate atheists unless they are taught to do so.
I suspect that all Christians are subjected to the hatreds of their Bible, but only the intellectually and morally weakest imbibe it uncritically as you have, and willingly serve as public vectors of this hatred.
Forgive me for celebrating the evaporation of Christianity in the West. It's a hateful ideology. If you don't believe us atheists, ask the LGBT community.
You're angry that we don't need religion or sky pixies. You're angry that we don't respect your religion or your gods. You're angry that we can live without that crutch,So, you feel the need to demean us by calling us religious, which is actually pretty funny when you think about it.

That something can look religious and not be religious? Yes.
False. Atheism has just one position.
Not sure how you do that.
That's not even close to the argument.
For starters, not all religions involve a deity, so to say something is religious does not associated it with God. That's an unjustified presumption.
For seconds, atheism isn't a religion because it doesn't fit the definition of a religion. Religion requires doctrine, practices and rituals. Atheism has none, even if atheists can develop some. That doesn't make atheism itself a religion.
I think the real issue is that you have an insecurity about the label "religion" and wish to "drag atheism down to the same level" as it. Why you think the label matters so much is kind of strange, and that fact that you're willing to twist the definition so much in an effort to include atheism in it is even stranger.
Atheism has none of the features usually associated with religion: no beliefs, no doctrine, no worship, no rituals, no doctrine.

The book tells how atheists, etc can use aspects of different religious views to enhance their lives. It doesn't tell how atheism is a religion.

Read the OP, it's not about the book

Or perhaps the people claiming that atheism involves beliefs, doctrine, worship and rituals should have to demonstrate that atheism has anything to do with those things.

Because some atheists as the OP states do all those things. As atheism would need to be free of the things on your list to not be a religion, it is a religion

Lightly seared on the reality grill.
So, according to this "logic", because some people who don't collect stamps do all these things, and as not collecting stamps would need to be free of the things on this list to not be a religion, not collecting stamps is a religion....
In most of the western world the biggest threat to LGBT rights come from the Jordan Peterson and Bill Maher type atheist fans, who are some of the most transphobic out there. And the vast majority of pro-lgbt voters on issues like gay marriage are, in fact, Christians. It became legalized in the majority of the US from majority vote, by majority Christians, before DOMA (a Clinton bill) was struck down.
Neverminding that boiling theism and religion down to 'Christian and Muslims' is woefully tunnel visioned, and the insistence on a monolithic view of the world of religious participation equally dogmatic, 'You intellectually and morally weak sky fairy worshipers' is as juvenile as it gets. It's not persuasive, not constructive, and self-congratulatory ego stroking.
It's no excuse for misrepresenting of atheism but neither is it self-justified.
If only I could see where your tongue is in relation to your cheek.

Is stamp collection reference God in anyway!
Here are a few of the dogmatic beliefs of atheists.
Life comes from matter.
Nothing supernatural is involved in the creation and maintenance of the universe.
There is no credible evidence of God.
Religion is a creation of man.
Any depiction or description of God in any form is manmade.
Jesus was not sent by God.
Anyone claiming to be God is a liar or a lunatic.
Every scripture that affirms the existence of God is wrong.
The absolute truth is impersonal.
There is no inherent purpose to life.
There is no absolute morality.
Good and bad are determined by man alone.
Nothing is sacred and nothing is sinful.

OK, So I needed a thread with classic dictionary atheist comments to go with my Dictionary Atheists post that magically disappeared (God Proven)
Did you just guess?
All that you need is to value your own word and act accordingly.
Everything will fall into place after that.

That isn't what the book is about.

I read it. It is not my problem you do not know what a citation or source is.
Your only reference to "religious atheists" was the book. So provide a citation
