A lot of atheists don't actually give a damn about the matter. They (we) just don't believe in God and go about our day without thinking about it, let alone hunting down worthwhile representatives.
I'd agree with that. Atheists, by their very nature, are too varied to be represented. Most substitute secular ideologies for religious ones (say, Liberalism, conservatism, socialism, communism etc.) in forming their views.
