I'm not labeling you. I am making a statement about one aspect of your beliefs/knowledge.
Calling you a theist, because you accept the premise that at least one god exists is true, does not label you as a person. It only describes your position on one proposition.
Calling myself an atheist is not a label, it is a position that describes whether or not I am convinced gods exist. I also do not believe that: bigfoot, Loch Ness monster, alien abductions, reptilians running the planet, etc are true, and none of those positions on those claims label me either.
Fair enough. I was responding to someone else's position that we are all atheists. I'm not an atheist, but acknowledge your right to identify as such.
