Individual atheists and particular groups of atheists. There has been a history of certain atheist that find their reason and definition in opposition to theists (Nietzsche comes to mind). But the thing of it is that they are not representitive of all forms of atheism. Just their own.
These particular atheists may indeed find their egos dependent on the opposition to theists. But we will never have the chance to find out. Theism is so entirely saturated in our society that it is not likely to present a chance to find out.
The trouble is once you try to put an idividual into a labeled box you cease dealing with them. You try to predefine them and you cut off any real dialog.
