For me, labels are only useful as far as they are efficacious in communication.
Regardless of whether my personal beliefs fit better technically under a modern definition of atheism, in everyday conversation it's easier to say I believe in God, but a non-personal Creator-type God which is all things. The explanation and conversation gets longer and convoluted for everyday people if I say I'm atheist and then try to explain this the Creator thing. If I'm talking to a religious or philosophical interested person, I may well say that a type of atheism better fits my beliefs and then explain the Creator and the Law of One.
No need or desire to consider myself part of the atheist or theist "camps". Attachment and identification to generalized labels can be the source of greater misunderstanding and division ala red versus blue/democrats versus republicans/atheists versus theists.
