I think the problem with Atheism more frequently tends to be a LACK of unity and social vocalization,
rather than a surplus of it.
Bill Maher observed that we are minority,
but a sizeable and rapidly-growing minority,
and we need to be a socially more vocal minority.
(I'm paraphrasing, btw).
I don't agree with him about everything,
but I think he makes an excellent point, there.
Religion IS organized,
and still does a lot of damage.
Atheists and Agnostics should present, if not a "united front",
then certainly a more visible presence;
but the trick may be to present ourselves as a LOT of vocal individuals,
rather than as an organized group.
