Anti-theism hijacked the atheism label to enforce it to others. That is not what atheism stands for.

Atheists should denounce anti-theism more often. It is a whole different branch of the non-religious community just like agnosts

Why should they? Why can't we accept that people can be pro or anti sets of ideas and both views can be discussed?

It should be discussed but anti-theism should not be confused with atheism, just like with Marxism and socialism.

Atheists, humanists, anti-theists and agnostics live all in the same house but each should have separate rooms.

Now it is one chaotic mess where nobody knows what the labels mean and the most radical determines the reputation of all.

So lets avoid labels and tribalism? Labels should serve a descriptive purpose when relevant. Not an identity.

What kind of description does religious people have if you present yourself as atheist? The Dawkins one of course.

As "New Atheist" he's an atheist disguised as an anti-theist and determines the description of atheism as a whole.

Hence why I do not call myself atheist anymore, because the image it creates doesn't fit me at all.
