Atheism a religion?

Why do you think its so hard for religious people to understand that Atheism is not a religion?
That seems to be their go to line these days. "If you think religions are bad why are you an Atheist?".. Not that any of their arguments are really valid or make much sense haha, but this one really bothers me. I just don't see how they think not believing in any god is a religion?
Am I wrong or what?
