I don't, but maybe the interesting question would be "is atheism a religion ?" rather than "how many think (...) ?".
An approximative definition of a religion is a common belief, more precisely a belief in one or more superior beings and a cult vowed to that/those being(s).
If atheists have a common belief in the non existence of a God, they don't vow it a cult, so that's hardly a religion IMO.
The definition of religion is belief in a supernatural power so how can the belief that there is no supernatural power be a religion?
Atheism is a religion as much as Off is a TV channel, to quote a popular phrase
It's a belief in the non-existence of a particular concept: God. If it's a religion, then not believing in unicorns is a religion. Not believing the moon is made of cheese is a religion. And so on.
It's a non-belief. Not a religion

Okay, I have tried everything to stop my graphics card from overheating, and it just keeps burning. Can't even get through a stage of PCM without a crash.

Must be a bug. If you could play PCM 2012, it's impossible you can't run 13 on lowest graphics. I've heard that it's less demeaning of your computer, even.
There is a bug (can someone confirm?) where the game does not recognize your graphics card, though!
Re: the atheism thing. It is right there in the name... It literally means without theism. Thus it isn't defined as a religion, but rather it is explicitly the opposite of belief.

Cleaning, underperforming, fans.
In very rare situations the heat sink which is mounted on the GPU can get lose. In this case, no cooling will help.
But are you sure that the GPU temperature is causing the crashes? More specifically, does the game crash or the graphics driver or the computer?
And why are we discussing this in the Pedro thread?
I didn't want to make a new thread for it, but hey.
It's the driver I guess, because it crashes any game or demanding program I am in, no matter the game or the graphics settings.
And according to my temperature softwar, my GPU is rising to 74 degrees before crashing, so I'm pretty sure it's that. It's not overclocking, because I can get crashes even with trying to underuse it.

Windows 8 looks nice but it is not very useful. My dad's PC has it, it is not a great OS but it isn't that bad, you get used to it quickly (at least I did).
I've had it for two weeks. I still can't exit out of apps without control-alt-deleting. And I've had to revert to using Internet explorer because apparently it never occurred to the people who did chrome that I might want to have more than one thing open at a time.
