No, you said that people shouldn't label themselves as they choose.
I wouldn't use 'antitheist' as my 'religious views' response because the direct reflection of my religiosity, 'irreligious', is more pertinent a response than the occasional behaviour, antitheism, which results from the incorporation of that religiosity in to my value-systems. I wouldn't dream of telling people that they shouldn't use the label 'antitheist'. I might ask them why they chose to do so and share with them, as part of that conversation, why I wouldn't.
I never said that either. All I was saying is that he can say whatever he wants in his own little bubble, but I am going to keep calling him an atheist, because that is what he IS.
