Because atheism isn't a club like an organized religion is. You don't need to join a specific community or church or organization in order to be an atheist. You just stop believing in religion, and there you are. We don't need a "society"; having one would be counter-productive, and would even probably be more like a religion. > I think religion tends to capture something essential about reality I think you have this backwards; religion tends to capture people who want to believe that reality is something other than it is.
