Is Atheism a Religion?

I was on the bus the other day and I saw this advertisement:

This made me think back to the very early days of the semester when we were talking about what constituted a religion and whether or not some forms of atheism, in their adamant rejection of religion, had somehow become religions in themselves. One of the criteria for religion that we mentioned was that its seeks to gain new followers. This seems like a good example of that as regards at least one type of contemporary atheism, and so I thought that you might find it interesting.
