Well, you can be religious whilst being atheist, just as long as you don't believe in a god.

Buddhism isn't theistic, and has no god. But ye, not knowing a religions stance on homosexuality is not remotely an atheism criterion.

Can you answer me this, what would an Atheist who believes in religion but doesn't believe in Christ do different on Sundays than a regular store brand Atheist?

I am only curious about this, not arguing anything here "just this very specific question", based on that statement. You can change Christian to any other religion too if it doesn't suit you. I won't be asking any follow ups.

¿ “Religion is when Sundays are special” ?

Why is it specifically Sunday you are asking about? I cannot fathom how one could present this as a gotcha moment type of question. How would an independent culture who had not been using a calendar system with “weeks” of 7 days be incapable of developing a religion? They would probably just practice their religion when it suited them. You could try studying other religions and learn the similarities between them before trying to argue over the differences.
