I missed that "atheism is a faith" bit the first time I looked. Can't
agree with you there. To have faith it has to be in something and an
atheist believes in nothing. Therefore, while I may say atheism is a
religion, I would have to disagree with how you have come to your
conclusions.
Nonetheless, it's still just playing with the language.
