That same "atheism-is-just-another-belief-system" meme is usually added to some disparaging comment about atheist organizations, like "why do you need to get together to talk about something you don't believe in?"

Oh and the ever-popular, "I'm way better than you atheists because I don't have a dogmatic belief system...I'M AGNOSTIC!"
