the bigger problem is the poison that infected both groups, namely Marxism. Somehow the 19th century trustfund-baby's screed about how all rich people (except for him and those who follow his teachings, of course) are bad manages to fuck up everything it touches, unless it's rooted out with a woodchipper.
I can see how collectivism can overlap between feminism and marxism, both have at least elements of group identity to them, and a certain element of grievance mongering exists within both.
With atheism though? I guess some people latch onto it for the sake of grievance with orthodox religion, which would naturally incline them towards that sort of marxist thought patterns, but there's a lot of atheists who just don't believe in the spiritual due to a lack of personal experience with it...
Sidenote: this lead me to an interesting train of thought (next time i'll take the bus, lol), groups like Antifa operate somewhere between a street gang and a religious meeting... If we treat their actions as religious rites, at least in a metaphorical/psychological sense, some interesting parallels emerge....
