So now atheists want to be recognized as a group with their own principles and philosophies? Kind of ironic.
Seems to me they are basically taking the Seinfeld approach and creating a religion about nothing.

Makes sense. Though I think an aetheist would argue that the very thing that all (or most) religions hold in common is the very thing they reject. Not sure what you'd call it... 'spirituality', the belief that there's 'more out there than we know/supernatural beings exist'.
If a religion is "an organized group who believe in a set of principles and philosophies", I'm not sure aetheists count, as the only common principle/philosophy they have is the rejection of religion... there isn't a whole 'set of beliefs' associated with Aetheism... as far as I know.
