Is it Sam Harris who's against use of the word "atheist", because there should be no need to label a rational "non-superstitionist" position? He makes good points for the case, and it's not easy to dismiss those, but in the end I don't have a problem with labels. If a word is useful in referring to some stance, then let there be a word for it, even if the stance is a perfectly rational one!

In this case, I'll take "strong antitheist". If nothing else, it makes people ask "What's that mean?", and that becomes a good chance to explain.
