There no reason to make up a new abbreviation for it. Especially one that isn't opaque to other people.
For me it's very hard to judge individual beliefs changes by those categories.
Replacing belief in God by replacing it with belief in evolution isn't real progress. It sometimes leads to annoying people who think that evolution should dictate their moral choices. It's quite okay for a 11 year old to have a simple view on the world and "believe" in evolution, but developing a rational way of dealing with the subject takes more.
Real progress is more structural. You don't listen to evolution instead of God for moral guidance, but you stop having a single external source of moral guidance.
Most of the major things I believe today that I didn't two years ago are in a form where I couldn't express the belief in the language that I used two years ago.
