To exert control and power over the masses as the scripture falls increasingly out of date and becomes disproven.
The relationship between the State and religion had a more important role then did the dogma of any specific religion.

Yes, there is a difference between doctrine and dogma.

Atheism isn't a religion, and atheists certainly don't worship anything. Atheism is a rejection of religious dogma.
'Non-religion' could be a religion in itself if it involved dogmatic and widely held statements about religion. Agnosticism, a form of non-religion, is clearly not one such religion, because it simply says, "I don't know," hardly a dogmatic statement. Atheism is another form of non-religion that does not involve systemic statements of dogma or belief. In its most general form, it is simply a recognition that gods do not exist. Different people arrive at that recognition in different ways, and all they have in common is a realisation that religion is not based on fact. Without a central dogma or defined set of beliefs, atheism is surely not a religion.
