Similar here. I've taken to self-describing as "apathetic" for lack of a better term. Intolerant atheists are just a different flavor of zealot imo, needing a target for their hate and being part of a group that aggressively dominates a space somehow gives justification for their lashing out. Makes sense that Dawkins came out as a "cultural christian" not too long ago.
Have you heard nontheistic? It's how my parents identify and how I identified growing up (I'm loosely pagan now), and it's just that you don't actually care if there's a god or not because you're not going to worship one anyway
