You're making this much harder for yourself than it really needs to be. The response to theistic claims and beliefs is a legitimate area of discussion. Scepticism is the arching term, within which - to coin a phrase - there are many mansions. They specialise individually in such things as ghosts, ESP, UFOs, cryptozoology, spoon-bending and so on. You just happen to be asking these questions on a forum in one of those mansions devoted to atheism, that's all.
If it helps, maybe compare it to the word 'science', within which broad subject are dedicated fields such as mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology etc. Though different subjects, with a certain degree of overlap, a physicist, a biologist and an astronomer are still all scientists.
Well yes I am curious about Atheists and why they gather.
