I highly doubt that's true.
@OP: atheists can be religious. Jains, Taoists and some Buddhists are technically atheists. Likewise, theists don't necessarily adhere to any religion.
Anyhow, I'm an irreligious atheist. I generally hold a very mechanistic view of the universe, and don't see much room (or need) for postulating a magical being to account for any phenomena.
