Atheism is a "religion". If different religions can be as diverse as they are and be called religions, why not atheism? Remember that traditional Buddhism (Gautama never spoke of any diety) doesn't believe in a god(s), and its a "religion". Atheism is still a belief that can't be proven. Agnosticism/skepticism could skirt that definition because it says "I don't know" or "I don't care" or "I can't know, so I don't care". Atheism says "I know God doesn't exist". For example as of now, we don't have any proof that electrons are composed of smaller particles, as an "atheist" I'd have to say no proof, therefore sub-electronic matter doesn't exist.
