I find it odd that when filling out a form that asked me what my religion is one of the choices is Atheist.

What now? That is the that opposite of religion.

    It’s all a bit vague, but one could say “Atheist is a religion and Agnostic is none, because Atheists believe there is no god or afterlife” but often Agnostic is considered a type of Atheist.

      FWIW, you can have belief in the afterlife without a belief in some type of deity. For example, some forms of shammanism don’t recognize any form of deity, and instead focus on the spirits of ancestors or of the natural world, but not as a divine thing.
