hard-core Atheism without any doubts (Dawkins etc.) for me as Agnostic/sceptic/doubter in the end even is seen as a religion as any other.

Do you believe in fairies? Do you have any doubt that they don't exist? Would you call the belief that they don't exist a religion?

How about elves? Mermaids? Ra, the Sun God? How about Frankenstein? Maybe talking animals in fairy tales, like the Three Little Pigs or the Big Bad Wolf? Does totally not believing they exist count as a religion?

Of course not. Not believing in mystical magical things for which there is no evidence does not constitute 'a religion', it constitutes a will of reason over superstition. If evidence ever should be provided, then people who think such things don't exist would change their minds, or join 'the religion that doesn't believe such things.' You know, kind of like Amish and electricity. Or Christian Scientists and medicine.
