I don't care about the label.

Atheist describes my position on the existence of god. Anti-theist, my attitude towards god-beliefs. Humanist, my values

And so on. Ppl are multifaceted. We share some facets and not others. You share atheism & humanism w me but not anti-theism

It is tribal to want to separate ppl into one primary identity & get one group to condemn another.
