Atheïsm is a religion as I would say any metaphysical theories... (which are
only set of beliefs... if not they are falsifiable and enter the realm of
"physical" theories/science.

Atheism is not science in that it is not falsifiable... Atheïsm is composed of
dogma "negation of the existence of any god/suprem being" and is a set of
beliefs and as such fit well in the religion category.

Atheism means, from the Greek, "without God" or "without a belief in God". It is like saying you don't believe in fairies, or Santa Claus. Of course, Santa Claus may well live at the North Pole, and hide whenever anyone goes there to look: no reasonable person could deny that, but no reasonable person would entertain it as a real possibility, either.
