I think it could easily be considered a religion - here anyway.
During Supreme Court case, we had to have an S63 hearing, part of which was a Supreme Court judges decision on what constitutes or can constitute a religion in this country. The judge used astrology as an example and explained why that could be considered a religion if people decide to use it that way.
Basically, any system that is looked into and gives one advice as how to run one's life can qualify as a religion.
If it did become a religion for some (and the tarot then would be its 'sacred book' ) then a 'reading' would become the central rite of that religion.
