Silverman is a clear anti-theists just like Dawkins. I do not agree with their narrow view of religion as demonic (pun intended)

He's also a tribalist. I was comparing you to him in that way.

Real tribalism is the silence from the atheist community towards the New Atheists. Group-think above principle.

What silence? What community? Some atheists like 'New Atheists' & some don't.I do. We don't share a belief system or tenets.

Obviously atheists and "New Atheists" share the same belief (their disbelief) but are not the same (see my house parallel).

You don't think a lack of faith and an opposition to faith are the same and neither do I. So what are we arguing about?

Why are they both called atheism? Dawkins is called an atheist, not an anti-theist while the latter is more correct.

Because he's still an atheist because atheist means someone who lacks faith in gods.

People don't stop being atheists if they have an attitude towards religion which differs from the one you'd like associated.

No, just like humanists are also atheist but choose to be much more (embrace human dignity etc.). Hence the different label.
