Not parent poster, but I don't think that's what they were getting at.

Atheists are often generalized in the same way one might make generalizations about Catholics; the problem is that, while Catholics share a common set of beliefs and values (generally) based on doctrine and scripture, atheists don't necessarily have anything in common about their beliefs or values, aside from an absence of theistic belief.
