I recently learned that you can be both atheist and religious. I got this from someone who described himself as an atheist Buddhist. Apparently that’s a thing:

Isn’t it explicitly not religious?

This essentially treats Buddhism as an applied philosophy, rather than a religion

I’m not sure if the bro I met uses wikipedia as his guide. He just claims to be atheist, since he doesn’t believe in God, but he also believes in the teachings of Buddha, so he identifes as Buddhist as well.
