...I stopped identifying myself using such terms.

Interesting point. Early on I had been warned that I was too eager to find my answer about god simply because I wanted to know what I was, as in what "label" I now fell under. I think that was wise advice and echoes with your point. Don't get me wrong... I wanted the answer, but I also found myself wanting to be able to know what name I was supposed to call myself (agnostic, atheist, freethinker, etc.).
