I find it odd that when filling out a form that asked me what my religion is one of the choices is Atheist.

What now? That is the that opposite of religion.

    Why? If you worship a god but don’t subscribe to any dogma, accept any scripture or listen to any religious authority, you have no religion. You’re just a theist.

    Except atheism is literally a lack of belief in a god or deity. If you believe in some type of deity, you’re not an atheist. by default.
