Size and no reason to unify. There are Democratic, Republican, Communist, Apolitical, Spiritual, Agnostic, Antitheistic, Christian, Rich, Poor, Socialite, Introverted, Moral absolutist, Moral relativist, Vegetarian, Carnivorous and many more Atheists.
Reading that list you will note that there are Christian Atheists. People who claim to be Christian but reject the idea of god. They are... atypical people.
Pretty much people from any and every walk of life just say "Oh, that god thing was silly, well time to move on", and then they continue with their life.
Why would anyone expect this group to be cohesive on anything except that one thing that literally define the group "the lack in belief of god". We can't even agree if we reject god or just don't see any evidence for god.
Now that we are big enough that me, living in Nebraska, can just run into atheist on the street, there seems no pressing need for an active community. I suspect many other feel the same way and smaller activist groups are picking specific battles.
