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.
I wasn’t deflecting, all I stated was that atheism is important to people’s identities as atheism. I didn’t say there’s anything wrong with it, or that it isn’t justified.
Nor do I deny that much of it, is formed as a reaction or opposition to theism and religious views, which it is.
