Let's put it this way, is atheism the irrational prejudice against atheists? I think the term has more potential for confusion as it's not at all clear whether it's pro or con.
Maybe that's just unfamiliarity, I don't know.
Fair point. But there are also plenty of 'isms' that indicate prejudice - racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, and so on. But no one thinks 'racism' means anything other than a person who discriminates on the basis of race.
