Some (many) religions contain moral teachings, but morality is not constricted to religion.

Moral are a huge part of religion, but they're not exclusive to it.

Agnostic I guess.

I believe god exists, but I also believe "god" is also "satan", so I refuse to worship or even acknowledge it as a significant being. Beyond that single fact I'm nontheist; I don't believe in any religion at all, including atheism.

Atheism is not a religion.

This is Rubik's Cube, treat it as such. Stay on-topic and don't post if you're only stating what you are.

Morals are an important part of religion. But it isn't a case of "you have to be religious to have morals". You may have your own morals outside of religion. The thing I'm arguing against here is the claim that morals are not a part of religion, and the one that they aren't because of sacrifices, which aren't representative of religion as a whole.
How can morals be a part of religion yet you can have morals outside your religious teachings? That doesn't make sense to me AT ALL.

Religion influences morality?

Depends on how you define religion.
I tend to define it as a system of beliefs (that is, opinions or convictions with no proof) about the supernatural (i.e., everything science doesn't have an answer to, such as how the universe came to be or what happens to our "self" after we die).
Going by this, the belief that there is no supernatural, is a religion too.

Yes to your first sentence. No to your second sentence.
Belief is the key word. The defining principal of atheism is non-belief. Atheists just don't believe in any higher power, and that's where atheism stops. You can believe that this is all just a dream, you can believe that we sporadically appeared from nothingness, you can believe that you are God Almighty, but just so long as you don't believe in a higher power, you are an atheist.
