The Secular Coalition of America uses non-theist as a catchall because I believe it was determined that it wasn't so repellent to the general public. It makes sense for them, they're an advocacy group. I use "atheist" because I don't want to appear like I'm running from the term and I stand in solidarity with those that dare to use it.
