From hereon out, we will hopefully all get along despite not sharing the same beliefs.

Maybe dragons took their jobs. Maybe unicorns only hid their jobs because unicorns are dicks. Maybe 'jobs' is only an illusion created by a drug addled infant pachyderm. Fuck dude, if we're in 'maybe' land, don't hold back.

I don't think that is going to work.

How is atheism not its own religion? A faith, at the very least.

I think certain atheists act in a strange, pseudo-religious manner, which is rather odd considering, but calling all of atheism a 'faith' isn't accurate.
There's a big difference between agnostic atheists such as myself, for who the question of the existence of a god is a fun thought experiment or not even a question at all and those 'new atheists' in the vain of Dawkins, Hitchens, Dennett, et al, who argue for quite a specific world view.
And, of course, there's the further separation between atheists and anti-theists.

"There is a god because this book that God gave to some people to tell us says so" and "There is no god because a book from man and man alone says so" seem to be about the same argument to me. Both shut out debate, which is what I find interesting about the former form of atheism.

Two sides of the same coin.

True, but doesn't religion rely mostly on faith? If there's solid proof of something, then there's no need for you to believe it or not, because it just is. And then it would defeat the purpose of religion itself.

Not really, it's more a religion in the way that bald is a hairstyle.
