If atheist isn't a good description, nontheist wouldn't be either - for the same reason in both cases. The ist there at the end of both.
The disaffected know this, ofc.
More academically, a nontheist can still believe in gods. They're not nondeists, after all. There are mounds and mounds of nontheists who believe in gods, contemporary paganism is chock full. For these people, the terms theist and atheist are both inaccurate. We don't think about them much when we think about these things - cultural bias automatically equates god belief with abrahamic theism or an equivalent.
