Depends on what you definition of religion is. If your definition needs a "god" figure, then you are correct. If you define religion as a belief system or the search for transcendence, then you would be wrong. Some would argue Buddhism is a religion for atheists.

Where I live it's predominately Buddhists. I can say without question that this region of the world does not look at Buddhism simply as a philosophy. It is a religion here.
