It wasn't us atheists that came up with the term, it was ancient Romans.
In fact, Rome used the term 'atheist' to describe Christians, because they did not believe in the correct gods.
But you are correct, for a change, the term 'atheist' does not really need to exist. After all, there is no special term for the disbelief in Bigfoot.
I thought it was the ancient Greeks who came up with the word "atheos" meaning "without".
