Admirable that you're trying to find a, "common denominator" if it were, among atheists in general, unfortunately the question you posed, while polite is illegitimate because atheism tells you nothing about what a person actually believes, it is a rejection of theistic claims as insufficient or not demonstrated to be true.
I'm an atheist and I believe that Richard Beeching's report to rationalise and axe most of Britain's railway infrastructure was possibly one of mankind's most ill-conceived counterintuitive ideas ever to date. In the space of decades he and the bureaucracy that was the BTC undid hundreds of years of progress and engineering. Figuratively speaking, I believe the British Rail network can be likened to the arteries and veins of an animal - you cut those and subsequently starve parts of the body (Britain).
That does mean other atheists like me also think Beeching & co were complete twats for isolating communities and making us take the long way to work everyday via cramped buses? Not necessarily, many of us hold different positions on different topic matters.
