If it IS a religion, you'd better be careful how you refer to atheists in the future. Religion enjoys a privileged status, and we can deflect criticism just by crying "religious persecution!"

Maybe he can't see someone at a podium without imagining they're giving some sort of sacrament meeting talk?

Re: Atheism is not a religion, right?
Why is it when some religious people want to insult atheism or atheists they accuse it of being a religion? I'm not asking rhetorically, I want to understand the thought process behind it.

I especially like how Mormons invariably insult, mock, and attack those who are not religious. This is the face of your religion, folks. Enjoy!

I especially like how Mormons insult, mock, and attack other sects of the Mormon movement who self-identify as Mormons, while at the same time the LDS Church demands that other Christians call them Christian. This is the face of your religion, folks. Enjoy!
