How can you have religion without a deity???

Easy. Western faux Buddhists tell us that Buddhism has no God, yet its a religion. Ask Sun Tzu about that.

What you describing has nothing to do with atheism... Talking frogs, crystals, copper bracelots, magnet therapy are pure crap..superstitions of the unthoughtful.... People that believe such put fear in conventional religions like christians of all types

No, there has been a study which shows that conventional believers tend NOT to believe in all that superstitious mumbo-jumbo. Secular types are MUCH more likely to believe in it.

Here's an atheists quote that I think you'll like:

“If a person doesn’t think there is a God to be accountable to, then…what is the point of trying to modify your behavior to keep it within acceptable ranges? That’s how I thought…I always believed the theory of evolution as truth, that we all just came from the slime.”

- Jeffery Dahmer, a convicted serial killer responsible for the murders of 17 young men and boys, many of which involved necrophilia, dismemberment, and cannibalism. (Quoted from an interview with Stone Phillips - Dateline NBC, 11/29/1994)

The consequences of our worldviews are very real.
