Atheists, like theists, may subscribe to a wide variety of ideologies. 

Any human being who says "I think the world should be this instead of that way" has an ideology, including atheists.

This is your own belief, based on such an oversimplification as to be false. You believe this false thing -- perhaps because it is comforting to you.
