Have you listened to the podcast 'Beyond Religion'? Basically it talks about how people identify with their religious beliefs (e.g, "I AM a Christian" or in your case, "I AM an atheist"), and it limits them. I recently realized that there is no such thing as a Christian or an atheist. Christians and atheists are identical, they just hold different opinions.
You say that atheism allows you to be open to every point of view? That's not what I've experienced with atheists. You must be unique.
