Even if this were true, they can't. You don't need to belong to anything to be an atheist. Its just a word that means 'disbeliever in gods'https://twitter.com/MondigeStudent/status/806214749130227712 …
Yes, I do. I'm arguing that this is a problem coz then you go claiming ppl aren't true atheists if they have different values.

ok, I'm seeing strong parallels /w feminism here. You stopped IDing as feminist. Do you think people will stop IDing as athiest?
-
I hope so, tbh. Silly thing to have as an identity. Should just be a descriptor.

I know it's not exactly the same, since feminism is complex, and etymology just means "pro-female" vs. "No god"
-
but it could be a symptom of the losing battle of words and what they mean, eg. "Literally" now means "figuratively"
-
Yes, exactly. If a word changes meaning, we have to accept this. I'll just say I don't believe in gods when this is relevant.
