The Nice Thing About Being An Atheist

As far as all these identifiers, yes, we are all human. However, that can't really be our only identity. Most of us have jobs, families, hobbies, etc. "I am a happily divorced transgender who plays organ for a Southern Baptist church and eats banana bread and Cream of Wheat every morning. I drive a fully restored '86 Hyundai Excel, and enjoy a mean game of Pente in my spare time. I listen to Frankie Yankovic and Donna Somers (sp). This is my identity."

Even a bedbound hermit has an identity beyond human.

Indeed, labels are necessary.
