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.

So, as usual, you have no point and only want to deflect.
