Organized how?
I was on a yahoo religion web-site and someone asked this question.
Do you believe in GOD and where are you from?
50 people identified themselves from the UK and only 3 said they believe in GOD.

Atheism is an organized religion.No, it's not. It's a philosophical position, like pre-tribulation rapture, or belief in reincarnation. It may be that there is some subset of atheists who are organized into an association, but they are a small minority. There is nothing comparible to the Catholic Chruch or the the Mormon Church that has millions (hundreds of millions) of dues paying members. Atheists do not get together with other atheists to celebrate atheism every Sunday.

You are of course correct, although atheist will deny that position.
If you subscribe to atheism, you must be able to defend your position. Saying, "I don't know, I just do not believe" shows a juvenile philosophy and requires no thought. It would seem if atheism is not a religion, then we would never hear from them
I respect agnostics much more, at least they admit they are clueless.
