Perhaps because there are three of them?
Dawkins doesn't offer much philosophy, he's a scientist. Harris is more thoughtful about morality and advocates meditation or mindfulness. The man boarders on mystic. Hitchens is political and his views have changed over time. Can't imagine how anyone could follow this "trinity" anywhere coherent beyond lack of belief.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
