That thing is atheism since all of the others are religions and atheism is not.
I’m not saying atheism is a religion, but I think probably most of the bigger religions you might think of have some adherents who claim it not to be a religion. I’ve heard Christians say it’s “not a religion, it’s a relationship” (with God). I’ve heard Buddhists say “it’s not a religion, it’s a philosophy”. I doubt there’s broad consensus among satanists whether satanism is a religion or not. Plus, surely nobody would call pastafarianism a religion with a straight face. And Cthulhu cultism isn’t a religion in the real world at least. (Unless you count some of the satanists with a Lovecraftian slant… but I doubt that’s what the poster in the screenshot was referring to.)

I’ve heard Christians say a lot of stupid shit… that’s not an argument for or against anything.
Even in the context of made-up religions, pastafarianism and Cthulu cultism are sill religions. Atheism is not, in any way whatever, a religion. It’s like calling a lilly-pad a fish.
You ok?
