In the end of the day, I don't care what theists call me - I know what I lack a belief in, and that is the only thing that matters to me, the "atheist" label is just the one that fits the description of my lack of belief in English. In my native tongue I'm a "gudloysingur" (literally means "god-free"), do theists prefer that word instead?
