Doesn't make it a religion. I don't believe in the Easter Bunny or Santa Clause too does that make me a part of the not believing in the East Bunny and Santa Clause religion? I don't believe in ghosts, alien abductions, big foot or fairies. Are all those non believing groups religions too? One of the stupidest argument that theist apologist throw out.
