It's better to form a political party around a set of ideals or a methodology rather than a lack of belief in a certain idea, it would be like having a non-communist party, that, while being full of people who are against communism, would also have leftist socialists, libertarians, right wing authoritarians, etc leading to a pretty pathetic attempt at a cohesive set of policies.
An Atheist party would be much the same, having left-wing, right-wing and liberals in a party all arguing over small issues that an ideal-based party would have at least a near uniform acceptance of.
