We only bother having a word for atheism because over half the world believe in fairy stories. I can easily imagine a future where the word becomes obselete.
I'm comfortable saying a baby doesn't collect stamps, and doesn't believe in unicorns. But it's just a matter of definition. I think it's also reasonable to have a category for those who haven't processed the claim instead. "Babies have never heard of gods". Pretty straightforward. How do they learn about them? Parents talking shit in their ear hole. Would they "find" any of the popular gods if they never heard about them? No.
