Well i dont believe in any religions, so some people call me a non believer and some people call me religious.

Some answers:

non-believer
Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities(Gods). In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities(God).
Most inclusively, atheism is the absence of belief that any deities exist.

religious
Atheism will be defined in the contemporary western sense: not just the lack of belief in a god, but the assertion about the non-existence of any gods, spirits, or divine or supernatural beings. Atheists in this sense are metaphysical naturalists, and as will be shown, they DO follow a religion.

A lot of people say ?Calling Atheism a religion is like calling bald a hair colour

Whats your opinion?
