So, now 'atheism' isn't a religion!

To make a point here, 
Making it clear "Atheism isn't a religion" since most of my friends keep asking the same stuff, 
Let me explain {If you're ready not to pretend that you didn't understand}


 
Take this situation: I'm listening to music in my portable
phone. 

This action doesn't require a service provider, does it? 
Hence there is no SIM inserted in it, and is offline. 
A friend of my roomie wants to call him up for a long conversation, and that friend of my roomie has a special offer from his service provider of free calls within the same network. 
So, now my roomie asks me "Which service provider are you a client to? I really have to talk to this friend and it's important and urgent": 



Since I don't even have a SIM inserted, I tell him, "My fone is offline"
He doesn't get that, so I say, "You can't use this for calls, it's offline."
He gags saying, "Doesn't matter! Which network does offline come under? My friend can make a call on that if it falls under the same network he uses"
As I could sense his innocence, I say, "Pal, offline isn't the name of any operator, it is just the mode of your portable phone when you've no SIM inserted"
 



He thus REFUTES [ ;)wink ] me saying, "You're really crazy dude! Tell me you don't know! Offline must be an operator that comes under some bigger service provider network, you're not aware of!"
He also adds, before I put myself into a total silence, "How could it be so? You say 'offline' isn't an operator and it still shows your portable is offline"






I could hear something synonymous with, "How could it be so? Religions mean to believe in God, You say you don't believe in one and so you're an atheist. Thus, isn't atheism a religion?"
