Why are people answering atheist here? OP is asking for religion. It's like if OP was asking what colour your basketballs are and having people respond (at length for some reason) that they don't have one.
Any survey of people's religions will have a category for people to answer "no belief/atheism". OP seems interested in what people believe and what led them to have that belief. I don't think answering with Atheism is going against that.
This one does not have a category for not being religious. It only asks what religion people belive in.
I'm totally down for the atheist response, although it technically isn't a religion in itself as much a position on whether you believe in a deity or not. A N/A response is totally cool in my book and I actually appreciate it. But def would prefer if people would describe what led them to it in more depth
