The church I was in long ago tried to argue that atheism and communism were religions. They have trappings or systems that pattern like religions, but it's pushing the definition of "religion" a bit much.
I'd also point out that a lot of American sects (a word that I don't think is derogatory) did drop out a lot of the European pre-Christian pagan add-ons. Not all of them dropped all of them. But many dropped some and some dropped many.
