Atheism does stand for something. If we like it or not, labels exist and do have meaning. Then we better have a correct label.

You and many atheists do not care. But at the same thing don't really like the public image of atheism. It's one or the other.

I am not part of a tribe called 'atheism' - people can evaluate me on my own actions and values.
-
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.
-
We are a social species who live in groups. Call it "tribal" if you want it (IMO tribal refers to a set of ethnic clan-thinking)
-
Groups are not used to condemn but to properly name and categorize people. I do not believe in this whole relativism of yours.
-
If you're anti-theistic, you are by definition also atheist so you don't require stating the latter. Same for humanist.
