What came first, the religious chicken or the atheist egg? lol
I'm not sure you would have one without the other. Atheist are only atheist because we have to define ourselves in a religious society. If the idea of Gods never existed and in place of that were only the scientific proof of life's natural disaster and population of the mentally retarded then I don't think atheist would exist. We only exist because we are running from the angelic.
So, what would a society be like that was only based on science? Well, I guess it would be battles of theory instead of Gods, but we would probably have several cures for cancer right now. But I don't know what it would be replaced with. Killer Bees and the like I guess.
This is indeed an interesting thread.
To be fair, generalizing about theist is something you have to do. You fight with each other as well, how can it be avoided, it's a vast sea of belief.

To be just as fair I think generalizing about Atheist is something you have to do.
You neglect the principles of Loving your neighbor, honoring your parents, doing good, telling the truth, giving to the poor, living in peace, eating healthy foods, loving your wife.
Love your neighbor, but if you see him working on the sabbath, kill the sucker...
Honor your parents, but if your son disobeys you stone him to death.
Do good only to those who believe, all others will suffer eternal torment.
Telling the truth, except when lying for Jesus.
Living in peace? You have to be joking, right?
Eat healthy foods, but it better not be shellfish!
Love your wife, but make sure she submits to your superior male authority.

I don't understand the similarity at all. I know christians of the same sec that differ in their view of the same religion. As well as the path you should follow to be true to it. Catholics are a perfect example of that. I am sort of forced to generalize about them. It would be rude in a way to not. So many differences I have to pick general wide spread christian beliefs.
For atheist there is just atheist. I can see generalizing about Agnostics, they vary a lot, but that is only because they still have some traits of christianity like faith in something or anything, just not sure what.
I think it's not possible to generalize about atheists. I just think you can make stuff up if you feel like it but generalize no, not really. Not in my opinion.
