I doubt they do it for publicity reasons. They don't give two fucks what people think about them, and that's part of what has made their show so popular. I would assume it has more to do with not identifying with the angry stereotype the word conjures. I think a lot of people avoid labeling themselves atheist simply because of the baggage the word carries with it.
