Maybe it was a bit much to say "everything they stand for" but I think believing in god is pretty fundamental in their beliefs, something which you don't believe in.
I can't say whats right and wrong to self identify as but I just find it strange that you still identify as Mormon/part Mormon despite not believing in god.
It'd be like me saying I was a protestant because I was christened, even though I don't believe in God and I find the whole thing quite daft. I obviously share some beliefs about how to live my life, "treat others as you would like to be treated etc" but that doesnt mean I align myself with the religion.
Not saying you're wrong, just don't really understand your thought process.
