A religion is a belief. Atheists believe there is no God. What do you think?

Oh and just in case you do just a few pointers to get out of the way.

Evolution doesn't cover how the universe came into existence, that's the Big Bang theory.

Evolution doesn't cover how life began, that's the theory of abiogenesis.

It just covers how life changes over time from one generation to the next.

atheists believe in nothing, so they aren't a religion. They don't have anything sacred or a place of worship. They are just too lazy to get off their couch and go to a church or even anywhere religious

Since when were Atheists lazy? I've met a fair few Christians that are massive slobs. Atheism is not about being lazy - it's simply the non-belief in a deity or deities.

Where did you get that from? LOL
And many Atheists visit churches, not to pray, but because they look good and are peaceful.
And some people are just into old buildings.

Since to us it basically just another building and the dogma being spouted there is sketchy at best, then what's the point?

For that matter what's the point for a theist? If you think God is omnipresent then you don't need to go to one to pray to your God. If you think prayer is your own personal pipeline to God you don't need a priest to tell you what God is saying.

Religion is the belief in deities.
Atheism is the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.

You're taking the word out of context. I believe it will be sunny tomorrow, am I now religious?

Hmm, So would the belief that religion exists be the religion of religism?

Well according to the OP belief = religion.
I believe religion exists.
Since belief equals religion and I believe religion exists then believing religion exists must be a religion.

:P
