I have heard of the herding cats expression and that certainly wouldn't reflect my own personal observations.? The herding cats thing is a reference to how Atheism is not a creed or religion because like cats, they often are more independent and do their own thing than sheeps or cattle for example. Its a reference to how atheists vary more in their beliefs because the only thing they all have in common by definition is absence of belief in God.
Feel free to correct me if you think I'm wrong, or you can point out a mistake I have made.
