But that is be their belief system. It's not atheism.

Take that South Park episode in which several factions of atheists are killing each other in the name of atheism.

That doesn't happen with atheism in real life. What you get is atheists killing, for example, in the name of science.

Atheism is, in their mind, a consequence of scientific thinking.
So you're only religious if you're willing to kill someone else in the name of your religion? Not sure I follow that definition.

Also, whether a belief is held (in your view) for the purpose of feeling superior to others that hold a different view has nothing to do with whether something is or isn't a religion.

If my neighbor drives a car and I don't because I want to feel like I'm better that doesn't make me somehow a car driver because I want to feel superior and my non-driving somehow becomes a category of driving anyway.
If you want to kill your neighbor because of their inferior car, however, that does make you religious. :D

Damn. France can't catch a break.
