> Dawkins, Harris and Hitchens certainly fall/fell into the "against organised religion" camp.

I took your "the latter two camps" (which I what I was asking about) to be the last two you mentioned

not "against organised religion".

Sure, but I was responding to your statement "people who claim to represent atheism". There's a big difference to people who are atheists and people who claim to represent atheism.
