Atheism isn't about caring or not caring, it's a state of mind regarding a factual question. It's not concerned with what value "God" might or might not have.
Yes, I just don't like how religious people's religious views imply an ideology and moral belief, but atheism doesn't. To be a Christian means "I have a moral code and idology that is guided by the Bible". To be an atheist means "I don't have a moral code and ideology that is guided by a mythical book", not "I have a moral code and ideology that just isn't guided by the Bible or other mythical books". Of course being an atheist doesn't negate the latter, but it just doesn't affirm it.
It's a distinction that's always bothered me. If society is going to use religion as a litmus test of morality, culture, and worldview, not thinking there is a god doesn't accurately represent my position.
