Perhaps because a word was needed to distinguish between those that believe and those that don't. Incidentally, atheism doesn't put the emphasis on "God" alone. The focus is on all theistic claims and beliefs. There are thousands of gods worshipped throughout history and many still 'active' today. The big-G god is merely one amongst those many.
But why focus on gods...and it seems a lot of people are saying the problem they are having is that people claiming to be his representatives are trying to dictate to humanity on how to live.
