Why can't we be allowed to define atheism

Why can't we be allowed to define atheism
What I'm wondering is why do some theist(queue derpy batman avatar) users make such a big deal out of the definition of atheism. They are allowed as a group to define whatever religion they follow, so why can't we as atheists be allowed to define the term we use to describe our position? And even if they won the whole argument then what? The position is unaltered, just under a different name (likely agnostic).
So why should we not be allowed to define the terms we use to identify ourselves, and what is the ultimate point of having said argument in the first place?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
