RE: Is it logical for a Theological Noncognitivist to identify as an atheist?

Theism/Atheism is what most of us would probably consider to be a binary concept, by which I mean, you either believe in it or don't. If you don't, it doesn't so much matter why you don't, you would still be in the same camp as the rest of us(even if in a different section). Take it this way, does a Baptist stop being a Christian simply because they don't consider the papal doctrines infallible?
Same kind of thing here.

I would more generally advocate that one only leave one entrance into their mind(reason), and keep the rest of it rather closed, as it is one hell of a lot easier to shovel shit in than it is to get it out.
If the evidence and reason for you to believe something isn't really any better than the reason you should believe some rural farmer from Arkansas got anally probed by interstellar visitors, then you probably shouldn't.
