Religion also has a social nature, whereas atheism is more of a personal belief. Seeing things like this makes me think that the nature of atheism changes from a personal way of thinking, to a collective way of thinking.
And that collectiveness seems to only be unfolding in the USA. Weird, I've never seen such a thing anywhere else on earth.
All humans have a social nature. Religion just uses it for its own means. All belief is somewhat personal. (unless they are really stupid) I'm not sure what you mean by the collectiveness. If your talking about the change to more active atheism they are standing up for their ideals which is entirely resonable.
