Your encyclopedia is too small! The American Heritage Dictionary also defines
religion as, "Any objective attended to or pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion".
That sounds like you guys to me. Your zeal is quite amazing! But actually I was referring
to the original meaning derived from the Latin "religio", from religaire, 
to bind back.
Your religion is the binding force in your life. In your case your 
religion would be atheism.

Based on the above definition of religion, greed, sex, communism or
nazism could then be considered a religion.

 Correct. If that is the binding force in your life. Many people, for 
instance, are devoted to the pursuit of physical pleasures. They, in 
effect, worship their own bodies as their god.
