We don't live in a world where "fairyists" tell us that we can't be moral without believing in fairies and making laws to enforce the rules that they say that they got from the fairies. If we did then being an "afairyist" would be a thing. When theism largely dies there will be no need to identify as an atheist.
It doesn’t matter why it’s important to you, or why you feel compelled to identify as atheists, even if it’s because religious people have pushed you to form an identity around atheism, the fact remains it’s a part of your identity, even if formed as reactionary.
Perhaps in the future this would be different for other unbelievers, but currently this is not the case.
