o atheism can have several different church.

I think we may have a category error. Atheism and theism are states of mind, one being the state of holding no belief in any deities and the other being the state of holding a belief in at least one deity. They aren't the kinds of things that have branches. A mere theist may hold to no particular religion, an atheist may follow a religion that doesn't require belief in a deity. A religion may be atheistic or theistic, but atheism or theism themselves are not divided into branches or religions.

What you're observing is that atheists and theists have lots of different opinions on religions and following them. An agnostic theist and non-joiner atheist may both avoid relgious services, for instance.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
