How about this: Extreme atheism is a faith; uncommitted atheism is a philosophy, but not a faith.

So it seems, but I really don't know enough about the extreme atheist's position to flat-out say that it's held on faith. It may be just faulty reasoning. In any event, it's certainly not a religion. At least not what I would consider a religion. (Not unless it's coupled with other things, like rituals, scriptures, dogma, etc., which I've never heard of.)

On of my sisters-in-law, I am told (since this was years before I met her) used to carry around a book on atheism with her wherever she went and would quote from it freely to defend her belief.

She later became a born-again, conservative Christian. She still is but is less preaching than just living as one.
