We tried this already with the National Atheist Party (NAP). Though we had members in all 50 states, we eventually closed the doors because on infighting. Atheists are not of one political mind, Liberal and Libertarian, Conservative and Right-wing Right-wingers. Our leadership also took the position of "our way or the highway" (IMHO) which was problematic.

It was also a loosely knit group with no coordination between state committees and the national office (which was one person). A political party needs to have a strong central leadership to survive. It also needs a clear political message that can be written in a few paragraphs, not a manifesto.
