Well that's just it. There's no such thing, but folk like Pz appear to wish that there was and, moreover, that they are viewed as such.
Hitch fully knew that people looked up to him and followed his literature, but you'd never catch him calling for an atheist jihad in the name of a non-existent ideology on 'other' atheists (and I say 'other' because atheism + employs the idea of 'if youre not with us you're against us' mentality).
