It is not a religion. It is a lack of belief in deities.

Atheism is not taught in schools, schools are to be taught with no bias. It is also not a religion otherwise it would not be called Atheism. Evolution is not a religion, to be a religion it would require worship. It is just a alternative theory on how the human race came around.

No. Religion is defined as involving the belief in, and worship of, some supernatural force or entity. Atheism does not involve this, therefore it is not a religion. Calling atheism a religion is sort of like calling bald a hair color, or silence a sound. It is part of the same array of religious viewpoints, but it is not actually a religion.
>This could mean no more atheism (YEAH).
It is unlikely that the fraction of people who are atheists will decrease significantly anytime in the foreseeable future. Ever since atheism as a recognized philosophy started back in the 17th and 18th centuries, it has pretty much continually been gaining on other philosophies. As more people are exposed to more information and evidence, it is likely that more people will become atheists in the future.

No, atheism is not a religion so it can be taught in schools in good countries (and should be since it is an important result from looking at the universe and how it works).

More likely, atheism is a religion.
Atheism is not a choice, but a lack of faith.
