Glad you are not buying into social norms. But "atheist" isn't merely as simple as saying " that is bullshit". There was a time before I got online back in the lat 90s that I did not believe, and deity/god claims didn't make sense to me, but still had the lifetime of indoctrination that not believing was undesirable and a stigma to be avoided.
There is a a lot more to adapting a position, than " that doesn't sound right"
The core and most acceptable reason for rejecting any and all god claim is lack of evidence. Moral reasons are another that all religions point to others to point out their transgressions, and they are not wrong and wrong at the same time.
All religions are right in pointing out the transgressions of all others. But they are all also wrong in blaming other religions for those transgressions.
Our species ability to be cruel or compassionate is in our evolution, not our labels. A label has no magical powers, no matter how old that label is. Every religion can point to it's history and heros, but that does not change that all 7 billion of us are the same species.
