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?
I'm referring to separating ppl into identities & saying things like ' humanists, atheists, anti-theists shld have own rooms

Of course, you can be perfectly atheist without being humanist or anti-theistic.
-
But by throwing it all together, you deny non-humanist non-anti-theistic atheists the opportunity to chose not to identify.
-
Thus, you force them to share the same room with anti-theists so they simply choose to leave the house entirely.
-
The point of categorizing is not to condemn people but to show diversity so everyone feels welcome & can live in the same house.
-
But choose not to and you risk the tribalisation of atheism as pure anti-theism, the opposite you want.
-
.@MondigeStudent I don't risk anything. Let people choose their own labels or tribes or not. The end.
-
The world is less voluntaristic as you wish it to be. Heck, I wish it wasn't that way. But I accept human psychology.
-
OK, well those people who 'feel unable' to choose their own labels and tribes can either grow a backbone or not.
