Now, as I see it, you need to believe in some deity or higher power to be religious, therefore I don't see Atheism as a religion. Again though, this is a matter of interpretation. One of my (former) friends considered Atheism to be a religion. It's all in how you look at it.
I can almost bet that you made that definition up instead of looking it up in an online dictionary.

May I add if someone has a religion, wouldn't there be something to worship?
