Now, if we were to categorize folks, by say race or ethnicity, that is wrong. It is like labeling, profiling, or stereotyping. Same with atheists. Some atheists I know attend Unitarian churches. Being Libertarian, as myself is a political view. Some atheists are liberal, others conservative. That does not categorize us really. Church attendance by atheists is irrelevant. How we act in life matters.

∙ 10y agoUnitarian Universalism is a theologically diverse religion in which members support one another in their individual searches for truth. They hold that there is no single definition for God. An atheist is one who lacks any belief in a god or gods. Therefore Unitarian atheist is a contradictory description.
A libertarian is one who strongly believes in maximizing individual rights and minimizing the role of government. A libertarian atheist is one who additionally lacks a belief in gods.
No. Your terms are not a good way to categorize two groups of people. Your intent, or goal, is not clear. It may help in your thinking if you stick to the simple definition of Atheism and not jump on the bandwagon of ascribing degrees, types, strengths, levels, and double word descriptions of a very simple concept.

Do atheists lack the values of the holy?
No. Atheists in general have the same moral and ethical values as do Christians and members of other religions. If there is a difference, it is that atheists hold the values that they do hold because they believe in their intrinsic merit, rather than in the hope of reward or fear of hellfire. Apart from religious faith, atheists do not lack values attributed to followers of religions.
