Why <insert-country-name-here> is a disgrace!

Atheism isn't by itself an ideology of any kind, it refers only to the absence of a belief in a specific thing. And not believing in gods doesn't mean one isn't religious, there are numerous atheistic religions. An irreligious atheist can be a nihilist or a fascist or a sadist just like any religious fanatic, atheism does not make moral proclamations, it can't. The only way the term can be said to carry other aspects is in it's contemporary use in the surge of atheism that has occurred over the last 15 years or so, which often expresses principles of secular humanism and naturalism.
