I don't see how.  You want people to say, 'Currently, I am a Muslim' but are fine with them saying, 'I am a human being.'

 

I'm not sure I understand you. If you are doubting the truth of someone's religion when they say, 'I am a Christian', I'm with you.  But 'I am a Christian' isn't about whether the Christian religion is true, it is a statement indicating the speak believes it to be true.  There's nothing wrong with that.

 

If you write poetry, you're a poet.  That's what 'poet' means.


I'm now thoroughly confused.  Thank you.

"Poet" is what I do, it is not a genetic or blood issue. There are lots of other humans who do not write poetry.

Identifying yourself as 'I am a poet' isn't supposed to be a 'genetic or blood' issue.

I'm still unsure as to why you object to people saying, 'I am a Christian' or 'I am a Hindu'.  I get that this isn't all they are, but so what?
