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

You do not think this correctness is important while in real life it does. The most vocal determines the label & that's Dawkins.

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

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.
