You can't say the same for other ideologies... Say communism. That's what differentiates an ideology from a religion. A religion is a specific kind of ideology that addresses but questions like what is existence, how did we get here, why, what should we do etc. It's more all encompassing.
Yeah atheism doesn't do that, it's just a space where the contrast with religion begs those questions to be asked. And who the **** has ever even met a secular humanist? They statistically don't exist.
