Atheism is a religion. You do not have to believe in an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and eternal Entity to be religious. Neither Buddhism, nor Taoism, nor Confucianism believe in such an Entity. Atheism is very dogmatic and it exhibits religious enthusiasm. It seeks to make converts, and it believes that everyone that is not an Atheist is blind to its spiritual truths. In the Atheist's world, people that reject Atheism's core religious beliefs are lost. As with most religious movements, there is not one single comprehensive belief other than to the preposition that God exists is false. When you examine the various beliefs among Atheists you find as many beliefs as there are Atheists. The best way to find out what an Atheist believes is to ask her. For instance, 20 percent of those calling themselves Atheist say that they pray to God and God answers them. Never assume that an Atheist has any idea what Atheism is. Despite the claim that all Atheists are more intelligent and more moral than theists, there are plenty of stupid and immoral Atheists.
