I would have thought that I am not the only one who is an atheist because of facts but dislike organized religion because of its bizarre, outdated morality.

Of course. This is not an either/or deal.

The divide is not that you're either an atheist coz no evidence of gods OR because religion has deeply troubling moral values. But the warring factions are divided over those motivated by scepticism applied more widely & those motivated by social justice.

I see a threeway divide: 1) New Atheists 2) Accommodationists 3) Woke Atheists Though their worldviews are older, the latter two emerged distinctly as antitheses on New Atheism. (2) to “stridency”, and (3) via so-called “Left Academia”, “Science Wars” and “islamophobia”
-
The biggest tactical mistake of New Atheism was to promote atheism as an identity instead of defense of secular principles (separation of church and state, evidence-based approaches to issues, a focus on principles over tribe).

I don't like the second type. At all. I stopped calling myself actively calling myself atheist, you have to ask me, because of them and their self-righteous BS.

I’ve always had a problem with people being atheist because gods act unethically and pass down weird rules for being on their good side. A god could be bad and still exist... and he could still reward the people who praise him after death. No reason to believe it, but still...
