By your logic, murders don't happen anymore in liberal democracies?
It isn't some deep philosophy indeed. It's very practical and not a church in any way. Anarchists usually don't care about people calling themselves anarchists, but consider that some stuff like counter measures to absolute power that our institutions have, gender equality and some other stuff are things they've been pushing for a while.
At its very core, anarchism is the refusal of any fundamental dogma, and in some ways very related to the scientific method and rationalism. This is probably a more personal take than what I've written so far ;-)
Chill out man, we aren't coming to behead you or anything. <3
