Weak atheism - lack of belief in any god - is not a religion, but strong atheism - belief that there is/are no god/s - certainly is. It makes an assertion and contains a very simple creed that is devoutly held. The things that you list are not what defines a religion, just what so happens to be features of most religions. Not even deity is a necessary element of religion. There's a reason that Buddhism is frequently described as an atheistic religion.
