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.

This makes no sense. You're dividing ppl into tribes again. Ppl who are against god-beliefs usually lack god-beliefs too.

Of course, just like a Marxist believes in everything a socialist believes. But the two are clearly different in expression.

Just have your own views & identify as u like. No-1 else has to live up to standards to protect the reputation of 'atheism'

That's why atheism is not growing. Atheism = Dawkins = bad. People rather identity themselves as nothing than as atheist. So sad

I get the impression that you want a tribe known as 'atheism' but a different, more gentle ethos than Silverman's ideal?

I do not want tribes, I want clarity and correctness. Use labels for their real meaning and denounce misuse.

Dawkins hasn't stopped disbelieving in gods because he also has a negative attitude towards religion. He's still an atheist.
