That's because you're taking this board and this board alone for a sample group. But atheism is as diverse as being affiliated with some religion. People come in all shapes and colors. I certainly hope, you wouldn't call Ayn Rand and her followers liberal.
Also your analysis leaves out what I like to call the god clamps. Once you no longer look for your pastor/priest/denomination for moral or social marching orders, you have to find your own way through these issues and make up your own bloody mind on what you consider moral or amoral or something in between. Which again is a broad statement, since many christians I know support pretty liberal views too. Among them the above mentioned grassroot organisations.
