All of the atheists that I have ever met fall into 2 categories- ones that you can't even tell they're atheists because they don't get into talking about religion and they don't really care what others have to say, and the ones that I can best relate to some of the vegans that I know. The vegans I know post articles on veganism, will refuse to eat lunch with someone that orders any sort of meat or dairy product, and will in general dress you down for your lack of knowledge and caring about animals' rights.

It's not that the first group of atheists that I know are touting their "religion", as you call it, and shoving it in peoples' faces. They are the opposite- they want the removal of any sort of religion from everything out there. The desire to remove religion from everything is no more of a "religion" than militant veganism in that regard.
