      I've started reading Fighting God: An Atheist Manifesto & find myself in disagreement. I'm not at all sure IDing as 'atheist' is important.

      I'm also a 'conclusionary atheist' but I think the conclusion less important than the way of getting there or the ethics that make it matter

      Of course, the book is addressed to Americans & I'm in England where the non-religious don't need to keep reminding people we exist.

          I do understand the argument that its very important for young sceptics to know they are not alone & to know atheists as normal people!

          And I'm sure that ppl avoid the word atheist coz of its challenging connotations but its not fair to assume that everyone does.

          I used 'atheist' a lot when the non-existence of God was the most important thing to me. That hasn't been the case for some time.

          If I start talking abt Jacques Lacan, I know that some of you will be horrified & disown me but one idea of his is very useful.

          The 'master-signifier' - an important, much-used word beneath which is a lot more meaning relating to what a person is all about.

          When I used 'atheist' a lot, I was all abt God & non-existence of God. Fair enough coz my belief in & fear of him had dominated for so long

          But you can only be interested in a non-existent god for so long. God itself is seldom the focus for atheist critics of religion.

          We're usually much more concerned abt how ppl claim to know things & the ethical values of religion & its impact on the world we share.

          Therefore 'sceptic' and 'humanist' are much more informative 'master-signifiers' for many of us than 'atheist.' That's a good thing.

          Often ppl associate scepticism & humanism & liberalism & science-advocacy with atheism but that's not necessarily so & has its own dangers.
