I forget what Atheism+ is exactly but, generally speaking, yes atheist/humanist groups tend to be politically left-liberal. Yes, it is nauseating if you're an atheist who is not so rabidly pro-diversity and pro-freakery. Yes, it's hard if you're an atheist who is more nationalist than globalist. It's even hell if you're an atheist who likes government to balance their budgets, defend their borders, uphold the goddamn constitution, not persecute tea-party groups via the IRS, defend foreign consulates like Benghazi, etc, etc.
Wow, didn't realise how much pent-up frustration I have as a conservative (centrist actually) atheist. What was your question? Oh yeah, there are no atheist/humanist groups for people who are not insane liberals. Correct. But then it is getting harder to express conservative views for *anyone*, not just atheists. Remember, liberals can't argue, hence they have to silence you via other means.
So, what specifically don't you like about Atheism+ and PZ?
Oh yeah, read The Righteous Mind by Professor Jonathan Haidt, it's all about the groupthink you're talking about.
Here's a taste of Haidt (who was a liberal atheist, but is now more centrist/conservative after studying moral psychology):

Haidt describes morality as like a matrix (yes, the movie) i.e. morality binds and blinds us.
