“An estimated 14% of Americans profess to have no religion,”
But that’s a religion! If one doesn’t believe that, just attack it once and you will hear a vociferously defense of that religion.

I disagree. The absence of belief in the supernatural implies no religion, except in the case of the 4th definition below.
On the other hand, I believe it's possible to believe in God...maybe even believe in the historical Biblical account of Jesus...and yet have no religion...at least according to some definitions of religion:
religion
1a. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe. b. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship. 2. The life or condition of a person in a religious order. 3. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader. 4. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.
