The right has that same problem, however. My right-inclined friends call me a nihilist every time I mention my Libertarian registration.
"You have to belive in something!"
"Really, why? But as a matter of fact, I do. Individual freedom."
People are dumb. They need groups to identify with. The only movments I require are those that generally follow my 20 oz Sbux coffee.
ETA: The problem is, when people think like me, there's no respect for any of the structures around us. Keeping the "guides" of law, God, country, political affiliation allows people to view their lives in terms of right and wrong, success and failure, etc. Some folks need a map. I subscribe to the notion that your guide is in your head. If you need a structure to tell your right from wrong, you're a dumbass.
