For those undecided whether label 'atheist' helpful, recommend comparing Lindsay's Everybody is Wrong abt God with Silverman's Fighting God. https://twitter.com/christianjbdev/status/798884253350187011 …

My conclusion is that making 'atheist' a identity is mostly counterproductive but in some specific situations, can be important or helpful.

In practice, I'm still prone to reacting defensively & tribally to tweets/articles etc claiming atheists to be stupid/evil/just like ISIS.

It works on me like clickbait to which I am also very vulnerable. I'm working on it!
