Before we get into way too much bashing: you need to define religion - any specific system of belief, worship, or conduct that prescribes certain responses to the existence (or non-existence) and character of a God or superior power
religion boils down to a belief system or "faith" - and if you believe there is no god and that when you are dead you are dead you are of one of the many belief systems - the religion called Atheism - there are others that reserve judgement on making that call like Agnostics.
Everyone has a religion whether you want one or not - by definition a religion is just your beliefs - and therefore if you have any beliefs - in this case that God does not exist, then you are of one type of religion
Fortunately when we were "built" or "created" or however your belief system tells you exist, you were given a brain to ask questions like that - unfortunately we definitely have a lot of people in this world that let others make those decisions for them and they have become the major religions.
There still is within each human being the ability to create your own religion (or faith) and believe in what you like - seems about 300 years ago a few that were persecuted for believing in their faith system had to move to a new continent (the US) to practice those beliefs - but of course now those same people are persecuting other belief systems and have or are still trying to wipe out the other belief systems so that theirs becomes the dominant.
