Should the term Atheist be scrapped?

Just curious what others thought as I prefer non-believer or even heathen.

The regative connutations it has in many minds clouds any argument in my view. Then add it's dictionary definition of either nonbelief OR disbelief, and religious folks always seem to think I.we disbelieve. Any thoughts?, is it just me.
