No. Not at all. By definition it's a misnomer but that only means people are idiots. They never say what they mean or mean what they say. In the same way theism, or more specifically theology is obtuse. Theism and atheism are ideologies. The science of ideas. Science is often wrong. Atheism and theism themselves aren't sentient entities. They aren't foolish, their adherents can be, often are, myopic.
Atheism is a rational conclusion. Theism requires faith. Atheism should involve faith and theism should involve the rational. So neither atheism or theism are foolish conclusions, their just different.
