As far as I'm concerned, these lines are drawn by the theists. And they draw more and more lines, until it's just a garbled mess.
From my point of view, don't know if most atheists agree, I couldn't care less what a theist calls themselves. Or whether other theists agree with their classification. To me it's like argueing over the colour of an invisible dog.
What does make me laugh is when people talk about "true" or "real" versions. All you've got is a book, that's as far as the reality of the myths goes. There is no "true" way to build a story about what is real and what is not, in a fictional but somehow real way. Just like there is no "true" way in which all the Harry potter characters actually existed. It's all made up. No one has the authority to say what is and isn't the best, or real, version of made up interpretations of reality.
