I tend not too worry much about the various labels we disbelievers give ourselves. It’s too far removed from the understanding of most theists to make a difference and while we can argue amongst ourselves about it endlessly it’s not as important to me as simply displaying disbelieve in a positive role. I’d much rather see us all embrace the term atheist just like the same was the LGBT community embraced the term queer but whether Maher calls himself an atheist or not doesn’t detract from the good he’s doing by pointing out the silliness of religion. I think an open letter regarding the issue would be ungrateful.

Couldn't agree more. Way too many terms out there that are way too close that do no one any good arguing about them.

The challenge is in removing the stigma behind the term atheist. There is no perfect term, each has its pluses and minuses.
