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

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.
