I'd start calling myself an atheist again if there was a movement towards allying with and promoting tolerant religious sects, instead of just condemning all religion as wrong and stupid.

You mean, as in De Botton, Dworkin, De Wall, Stedman, Epstein, McGowan, Unitarian-Universalist Humanists, Jewish Humanists, Secular Buddhists, Humanist Manifesto I (1939) and Ethical Culture?

I'll admit it, the only name there I recognize is Dworkin, and I only know her because she was linked to the anti-pornography movement. (Another trait that probably identifies me: I write porn for both male and female readers.) I have heard of Atheists for Jesus, though!

Wrong Dworkin. Which highlights what I think is the whopping problem of media bias in talking about atheism. Richard Dawkins tweets 160 characters of stupid, it sparks a dozen op-eds of criticism which, in turn, are syndicated and reblogged to the top of the news page. Ronald Dworkin, a legal philosopher, publishes a 193 page book about non-theistic religion, it gets a single review in New Republic.

Multiple atheist charities respond to the Oklahoma Tornadoes, and Time not only fails to interview any of them, it runs a feature arguing that they didn't exist. (It's author, Joe Klein then proceeds to double down on stupid announcing he's writing a book about the importance of civil religion.) FOX feeds the conflict narrative with their religious talking-head panel anchored by professional trolls Bill Donohue and David Silverman. Of course, they insult each other, which gives FOX plenty of free publicity.

The point is there's a lot of interfaith dialogue going on involving atheists, and it's not that hard to find.
