I am a bit of both.
But in terms of which statement I think is more important, I think it's more important to consider similarities, which might make me a lumper.
The correlation between being religious and being a splitter I imagine will be very high.
My entire reason for finding it important to be a lumper is that as an atheist I encounter claims of humans as being divinely unique and not a member of the great ape family. Me being a lumper is due to my opposition to this mainly religious inspired view, and being a supporter of mainstream science when it comes to evolution and animal classifications.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
