There are no "isms" just beliefs and positions.

It is common for the Christian to say "I am a". It is common for the Buddhist to say "I am a". It is common for a Hindu to say "I am a". It is common for a Jew to say "I am a". It is common for an atheist to say "I am a". It is common for the Muslim to say "I am a".
None of those differences change that we are the SAME SPECIES! Because what we think is true has nothing to do with DNA , or the fact we all die. It only means humans don't agree.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

So, now you have a problem with people identifying or describing themselves?

There are isms, beliefs, positions, all different kinds of classifications. Just like the taxonomic rank/classification you are so fond of using. you can argue it's usefulness from your perspective, but they're all words and we use words to classify things.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
