Atheists have no organizing structure around religion because religion just isn't important as far as we're concerned. We tend to band together to counter specific instances of the influence of religion (e.g. attempts to include ID in science curricula), but, for the most part, we don't care what other people believe as long as they don't try to force it on us.
