So now atheists want to be recognized as a group with their own principles and philosophies? Kind of ironic.
Seems to me they are basically taking the Seinfeld approach and creating a religion about nothing.

Atheism, as a political/social movement, has always had a loosely-defined set of principles and philosophies. I don't see what's new or controversial about that.
The difference between atheists and followers of theistic religions is that atheists don't acknowledge the existance of an all-powerful magical space fairy who created the universe.
