The important question might instead be “what is it best for me to identify as?” …where “best for me” and “best for society” and “best for me and society” are three different interpretations of that question, and which one I pick depends on how important I think I am relative to society, and where “identify as atheist” and “identify as Christian” are two of a near-infinite number of choices.
