That's a pretty idealized version of reality. I'm not saying that all atheists hold politically identical views, no group does. But I think it's safe to say that just like protestant Christians have a political force even though there is a panoply of political views among that subset; Atheists could have a political force if united.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
