Actually, I don't think he is that far off point. I believe Timmays statement is inaccurate, in that Atheism is not a form of worship, however, If you look up the definition of religion, you will see many definitions. Some include religious dogma, deities, god(s) and so on, and some don't. However the common factor across all the definitions is that of a belief system. A common way or methodology of looking at and explaining life, the universe and everything, as it were. So the question then becomes, is Atheism a belief system? And I think the answer to that depends on whether you are a hard Atheist, who believes that there are no Gods, no higher powers, no intelligent design forces at work, etc., or a soft atheist, who simply believes there is not enough evidence to support the existence of the aforementioned entities. (There is a difference) A hard atheist does actually follow a belief system. They believe there is no god. They generally also believe in science, which, lo and behold, is also a belief system, a methodical system of interpreting and understanding Life, the Universe and Everything (yes, I just love saying that) that is based on methodical and empirical research, with the goal of trying to accumulate enough corroborating evidence to render the likelihood of any given hypothesis as close to 100% as possible. But while the the system is theoretically perfect, in practice it carries risks, and the flaws of those engaged in it. However for finding answers, it is the most accurate and reliable method we have today, and will generally yield the best answers to most questions. However it is also a belief system. As a side note, however, theistic religions, do not require any of the empirical testing, or experimentation required of science. That was never it's purpose. So it is kind of a waste of time to try and reconcile theism with science. The two belief systems are really not sufficiently related in any meaningful way for there to be any useful point of convergence.

Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird... At one time this used to be my favorite jet in the whole wide world. I was convinced Darth Vader flew these things.

OK, so let me get this straight. Laser guitar, dragonfly wings, mouse head cat eyes, four arms, one cybernetic and one crane arm, and grungy shorts makes an alien kitty trooper? Alrighty then. I, for one, welcome our new alien kitty trooper overlords.
