Humblebrag?
Attention Whoring?
What is vague about it? Some people have a stupid stereo type of what "atheist" means and all it means is "off" on god claims. Some people troll atheist pages and post garbage to see if we will agree with their garbage in a stupid attempt to put us on display like zoo animals or others will join and when they join, they stupidly think because they think atheists are social outcasts like them so they'll automatically fit in.
That guy who posted the picture of the asshole in the in the wiki article joined an atheist page thinking he'd fit in, another type of person who considers themselves an outcast "rebel without a clue" thought the group was out of the mainstream so they stupidly thought they'd fit in.
And the third type are mostly harmless people who have their own brand of woo and think because the group title is "atheist" or the page title is "atheist" they will get a pass.
So again, "atheist" merely means "off" on god claims. It does not make us lock step sheep. I isn't a cult or gang, and it doesn't mean even with non violent harmless people that they will get a pass from scrutiny.
