Sort of. It's a 'us vs. them' mentality. In this case, 'us' is everyone in Atheism+ and 'them' is, everyone else.

Hey, if they want to form their own group where they work on social activism (or social activism circle jerks) from an atheist perspective, that's fine, too. In fact I think it's a good thing to do that instead of demanding that everyone else in atheism conform to their way of thinking. What I have a problem with is that they form their own group and use it to demonize everyone else who doesn't buy into it.
