Once upon a time, during a period when I was professing to be Muslim but was pretty much over it, I would say yes, I'm Muslim, and then have like one of those fast legal disclaimers running through my brain after, like, As in I believe in a higher power who of course was aware of Islam and that all actions and religions have a touch of the divine. And I considered myself to be dishonest, because I knew what they meant, and I knew what they thought I meant, and I was never upfront with my kind of fringe interpretation. And that was the dishonest part.
You've been an open book, as far as I can tell, and you define your terms clearly. You explain what your beliefs are, what they mean to you, what it doesn't mean, and you take the flak from both sides for it. Maybe not everyone will agree with you, but I definitely don't think they should find you in any way dishonest.
