It doesn't bother me. I do not want the word atheist applied to me as a descriptor, because I am not an atheist.
The word "Christian" does not bother me, but I do not want anyone to call me a Christian, because I am not a Christian.
I do not want the word "liberal" applied to me...because I am not a "liberal." (I definitely am not a conservative either, so I do not want that word applied to me.)
