"Public Atheism"

Something that really annoys me is that there seems more and more that atheists want to only promote atheism with certain baggage into the public view.

One example is that atheists that are moral nihilists or ethical noncognitivists get pushed away from the public view by other atheists while atheists that are moral relativists or moral realists get promoted more.
Another example is that atheists that focus more on history or philosophy get pushed away from public view while atheists that focus more on social issues and the sciences get promoted.

It seems, more and more, that atheists are trying to get a certain public image of atheism that just isn't accurate.

Atheism is simply the lack of belief in god(s). The thing is, atheists (not all, but quite a few) seem to want a public image different than that.

Have any of you noticed this?
