I suspect it's a knee-jerk reaction to go against anything that might be considered conservative, frankly.

Correct, the modern Atheist trend is not one of true materialism, but rather a quasi-spiritualist movement that serves primarily as a counter to Judeo-Christian norms. As such it often just takes an antagonistic role. The modern Satanists are a great example of that.

Atheist is just the non belief in God. Nothing more, nothing less. Just because the religious strawman it to mean something else doesn't make.it true.
