Are you trying to stoke some fires? You're going to push people away faster than you can start a conversation with them if you're going to jump on the boards here and start throwing accusations of stereotypes all over the place.
In the spirit of understanding, I submit to you that all atheists deny the existence of god(s), but, aside from a few similarities among us, we tend to have many differing world views. Your question, which is rhetorical in nature "Aren't most Atheists collectivists anyway?" is an observation that is not based in fact, and therefore is an argument from ignorance (unless you can show empirical data to go in favor of your claim).
Just tread lightly when making the above statements, because it will leave you open to all sorts of intellectual assaults from very knowledgeable people on this site. You may not be looking to make friends here. That's fine, but you should definitely be looking to learn a thing or two; perhaps you can pass your knowledge off to others along the way.
