This makes no sense to me how can a lack of belief be a religion? I think the issue is that a lot of religious people can't see anything other than something being different from their religion. This is the equivalent of saying, "Well, they don't believe in Santa Claus so they must have believe in another power that creates gifts out of nothing".
I get accused of being an atheist because I'm angry with god. How can I be angry with something that I don't believe in? Again, they frame their argument in they're environment of belief. Likewise, when someone asserts that atheists say there are no gods I'm pretty sure it's not an atheist saying that. Most atheists I have known, have chosen logic over faith to come to their conclusions. Proving a negative is not a logically possible. Inferring from our current evidence (or lack thereof) that there's not a god is different.
