My question on type/causes of guilt were specifically directed at jdawg, only as he used it in his explanation to the question of this thread. And your explanation of guilt and the vagaries of it's causes does invite an entire discourse of it's own.
In a real life discussion the pun works since we hear the word(s) and can confuse them, but three times now when it's written....?
First, you would probably need to define what you mean by "sect" and provide some supporting examples of these sects. Next, you would need to show what the correlation is between these alleged "sects" and the alleged "guilt" that atheists, as a group, are supposed to have. What sort of "guilt" are you expecting to find? Why would there be any "guilt" at all? There are, without much doubt, atheists that are "guilty" at this moment of a variety of things ranging from infidelity to murder, from gullibility to being overly trusting of others. But what would be the reason to suggest that there might be different amounts of "guilt" among atheists than theists. Indeed, it would seem more logical to argue that atheists feel less guilt than theists since they have no supernatural agent with which they perceive a requirement to appease. Atheists do, however, still have parents, spouses, children, employers, friends, etc to appease and failure to do so can create guilt, but, ostensibly, theists have have all these entities as well, with the addition of one more: a god. I don't disagree.

I doubt most atheists have ever actively sought or held "atheistic beliefs". I wouldn't be surprised, though, if a fair number who were raised in theistic cultures found themselves rejecting some particular kind of theistic belief at one time or another, and that reaction against an attempt at inculcating unwarranted or perverse guilt was part of that rejection.
