Jerry Coyne, Steven Pinker, and Richard Dawkins are big mad that FFRF removed an anti-trans article from their website

The same reason every other minority advocacy group exists: to coordinate pooling resources to protect that minority's members from persecution.

Of course in the case of atheists, that persecution isn't as bad as for other minority groups in the US, but it does exist: there is propaganda saying that atheists can't be moral and other shit like this that can seriously affect your life.

So optimally that's what the organization would fight. I know nothing about them, so I don't know where the “church-likeness” comes from that you mentioned. Care to substantiate that?

Well, FFRF runs programs actively protects Clergymen and women attempting to leave their faiths, and I can guarantee you those particular people are heavily persecuted. Especially former Mormons.
