Technically, if a person identifies with a particular societal
organization that shares a specific mindset relating to such things as
stated above, it can be classified as a religion.



So in your strange interpretation, I am an Atheist who doesn't believe
in *any* religion, but I am religious!!?....hmm!


No. I'm saying that the definition of a religion equates atheism as a
religion.

Being "religious" is a whole different practice.
