Some labels describe this but if 'atheism' is now becoming a tribe with factions who must adhere to one label, I'll just not use any.

How can it be a tribe w/ factions? It's just a definition. Nobody is in charge, no spokesperson, pay no dues, follow no orders.

Because people have taken the name 'atheism' & added values to it, formed a movement around it & made rules & exclusions.

Who is enforcing following the rules or exclusions? It's still a definition, no matter what other stupid shit people do/say.

Yes but if enough of them do it to make it burdensome, its easier just to say I don't believe in gods. I'll do that now.

I guess I haven't seen more burden in the label than I see in the meaning of it. Religious ppl put way more constraints on that.

You've not been having the conversations I have. Identity politics have found their way in & I'm finding my way out.

sometimes more anecdotal than defining of anything global.

Its certainly not global. Identity politics of this kind are western & they're not being related to atheism in England.
