No, they believe in something. So they are religions in my view.

every human believes in innumerable unverifiable things and if we did not then assembling a common system of laws would be, at best, a much worse ordeal

Of course, but they do not believe in gods in many cases. That makes them a-theist. And that’s what you were objecting to. So you’re ok with Buddhist atheists but not Jewish ones?

Many do, but not all. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find any philosophy or religion where all proponents/practitioners believe in exactly the same way, and I suspect that's at the heart of why you're getting so much push-back on your initial comment.
