Many atheists find it unpleasant and sometimes don't want to openly and proudly categorize themselves as atheists when asked. Some prefer to use the words humanists spiritualist non believer non religious etc. In many occasions the word Atheist is considered offensive. If we atheists have to label ourselves , what is the preferred terminology?

I don't have a problem with Atheist, not that it's much anyones business.

What annoys me is that it is a negative term. Now that less than half of the population of the UK are religious the atheist label can be dismissed with and believers should be labelled theists.
