I think the misconception was that atheism was some kind of group or army that was formed to destroy religion or separate religion from other non-religious matters or something. It's just a response to a claim that religion has posed. That's all.
What he was looking for was secularism. He was going the wrong way. Secularism and atheism share the same view when it comes to the existence of a god or gods but can differ on other things. Secularism is the active demand/separation of church and civil activities of a country.
Don't think there is such a thing as an atheist solution. Secular one maybe.
Definitely a misconception.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
