many religious claims and beliefs must be challenged
Going to be hard to believe, but religious doctrine is a constantly evolving thing in pretty much every faith. Dogma is largely mythical and intersectional religious tolerance is routinely understated, particularly by hyper-partisan spectacle focused mass media.
Shouting "You idiots! Why don't you learn to think for yourselves!" at people who have been grappling with the finer points of their faith for their entire lives is wildly disrespectful and exactly the sort of shit organizers shouldn't be doing.
We must have solidarity.
Solidarity is a tricky thing as it demands a certain level of rigidity to build a foundation, but also a level of flexibility to grow and expand a movement.
It's helpful to define what you're building solidarity around. If "a strict commitment to atheism" isn't it, try not to turn that into a sticking point.

"certain level of rigidity to build a foundation" - trunks/roots
"level of flexibility to grow and expand" - branches and leaves and all that good stuff.
Ah I thought you meant stand outside doing nothing
Me, staring at a screen, cringe.
Trees, standing outside and doing nothing in the sun, based.
