One common trait of some agnostics is that they are non-partisan which is one reason why we tend to steer away from the atheist and theist labels.
Merriam-Webster defines 'partisan' as the "feeling, showing, or deriving from strong and sometimes blind adherence to a particular party, faction, cause, or person : exhibiting, characterized by, or resulting from partisanship".
For Discussion..
In this discussion, I want to make a list of partisan behavior along with an explanation of why it is wrong, biased, unreasonable, or whatever else. This could apply to major religious or secular groups (Christians, atheists) and even political parties (the Dems and Republicans, etc).
EDIT TO ADD:
My position is not that you should avoid labels, but if you're going to adopt one, don't have an unreasonable or blind adherence to it.
