I lean towards being against this categorization, but the idea of putting it where people would look for it has some merit.

The whole point of categorizing is to make things easier to find, so maybe it does make sense to put it here.

On the other hand, it does play into the misconception that atheism is a religion; sort of like putting a "Bald" group under a "Hair Colors" category.
