Comment on DoD Officially Drops 180 Faiths from Military's Recognized Religion Listparent

Atheism is not a religion, and someone who is religious can also be atheist (and some religions are not theistic), although having no religion does not necessarily make you atheist either (although many atheists are not religious). (However, considering that, putting "agnostic" in there seems to be strange compared to this.)

Howveer, when knowing what should be in the list, there is the question of what the information is used for, in order to know what divisions are helpful for this purpose.

someone who is religious can also be atheist

Technically true but I don't see the word used like that much.
