Of course, you can identify as anything you like, but either you actually are an atheist, or you are not. It refers to a real thing; a state of mind. The same thing goes for being a theist.
This is different to being a Christian. All you need to do to be a Christian is to say you're a Christian. What you actually believe is of no relevance. Christianity is a club of sorts; atheism is not.
Fair enough, I suppose.
