It's not the exact same crap.
It may be a worthy message, but the way people treat it is the same way that people criticise Christians for doing. People accuse Dawkins (or more accurately, his fans) of treating atheism like a new organized religion, and they really kind of do.

It puts a bad taste in my mouth to call atheism a "movement," but that seems to be what it's turning in to anymore. I'm not sure what to think of it.
