Not true.
How authoritarians in religion think. Obey my religion or end up in hell.
So, you are saying that Atheism as a religion accepts there is a God? Or, is it that Atheism is open to there being a god or gods?
Atheism is a denial of the Christian concept of God. Nothing to do with whether god is possible.
So, Atheism accepts the Zoroastrian, Muslim, or say Shinto concepts of God?
No, just is not interested in it.
That's secularism, not atheism.
Atheism is the belief that there is no God, while agnosticism is the view that the existence or non-existence of a God is unknown or unknowable
And secularism is a disinterest in religion and the existence or nonexistence of god. "Don't know. Don't care."
No, it is based on knowledge. For example, early theologians tried to convince people to believe in THEIR conception of God.
Secularism is the principle of seeking to conduct human affairs based on naturalistic considerations, uninvolved with religion. It is most commonly thought of as the separation of religion from civil affairs and the state and may be broadened to a similar position seeking to remove or to minimize the role of religion in any public sphere.

Just pointing out that your definition of it was wrong.
Atheism doesn't have a deity to worship so it isn't a religion.
I did not define anything.
People like Gardner do not have the intelligence to understand that.
A religion doesn't require a deity.
It is not a belief. It's a lack of belief just like you lack a belief that there is Zeus or dragons.
