O que é: Muitos ateus criticam não apenas a crença em deuses, mas também instituições religiosas concretas.
Como a posição entende: Igrejas, ortodoxias e cleros podem ser vistos como reprodutores de dogmatismo, censura, discriminação ou abuso de poder.
Base argumentativa e contexto: O tema aparece fortemente em autores anticlericais, marxistas, liberais seculares e no novo ateísmo.
Debates e variações: Nem todo ateu adota crítica frontal às instituições; alguns distinguem experiência religiosa privada de poder institucional.
