I've commented before to my roommate that the plethora of churches around us seems to stem from the fact that while Christians have the common ground of believing in Christ, they have WAY too many shades and hues to their faith. You don't like one church? Go to another.
I'm sure if someone wanted to start an "atheist church", you could find enough people with enough OTHER things in common besides a lack of belief in gods to make an organization of some sort. The godless-volleyball-lovers-egg-hating-cat-owners association even.
We're on this forum because the vast majority of us want a place where we can feel safe from being preached to. I don't necessarily have that safety depending on which group I join here in the Bible Belt.
And this is what makes ateism superior, It doesn't have guidelines. It doesn't make claims. Take Karl Marx and Ayn Rand for instance, can two person be farther away? But still they're both atheists.
