No, there's one crucial difference. I would put myself in "interested in Christianity", even though I am a staunch atheist. I suspect that so would many others. It's not about hiding your beliefs - I think that would be pointless. My argument is that _identifiable factions_, that is, permanent groups that are categorized and listed, should be open to all convictions about a given subject. They can be subject-specific, but they shouldn't be belief-specific.
Ok, fair enough. What if they were worded as "I work on ... articles." That would be even more project-oriented. If you're not working on articles about the Monster Raving Loony Party, you shouldn't be professing your allegiance to it...it's just not relevant.
