For some yes, others form group affiliations both strong and week. They can be found all over the internet, in academia and scientific circles.

And many of those individuals have adopted a singular philosophy to be anti-theistic and they militantly go out of their way to philosophically battle theists. They believe it is their function to convince theists that they are wrong. And they can get very angry when theists try to argue that they are wrong. They have a problem when theists use their beliefs to inform their lives and their politics.
They have their collective dogma just like any theistic group.
Anti-theist is an individual philosophy.
Atheist/atheism is not.

Lack of belief in a god.

My Korean Samsung Phone has components built in Vietnam, Korea, and China, was sold to me by an American T-Mobile provider, which in itself is owned by a German telecommunications company. And when I have a problem with it or it's service I have to call Bangalore, India.
And there's even child labor in that chain in places.

You seem eager and happy to have some entity on the other side of the world dictate the rules you’ll live by.
That’s globalism.
England found out the hard way that letting a group of people on the other side of the channel dictating how they live was a bad idea.

That is your fear and your interpretation.
