Thoughts From A Cab Ride From A VA appointment

I'm typing quickly in a cab so pardon my spelling and sentence structure.
What good does it serve at this point to place a large emphasis on whether a person is a theist or atheist? I don't see it as being that helpful nowadays. Your position on the god claim tells me precious little about you. Whether you choose to act on and how you act on those positions is a different matter and not intrinsically linked to saying yes I believe or no I don't believe. Is there any rational, helpful reason to place a large emphasis purely on whether or not the next person you bump into on the street is a xtian, anti-theist, buddhist, or sunni?
