40 years ago I think a lot of people would have been hard pressed to say they knew an atheist, much less knew what atheism was. Save for what they were told by their pastors, of course.
Today there are billboards, the Internet, bus advertising, atheist activism that garners headlines and books.
In 2007 Publishers Weekly and Book Expo America reported atheist titles are outselling religious books. So to answer the OP question, no I don't think atheists have a problem with informing the public about what atheism is. And most importantly, what it is not. i.e. a religion, a cult, a faith, a political ideology.
