I don't really know if this is worth responding to, but with six pages I might as well throw in my two cents. I believe atheism came first, in as much as people were surely around before they started considering some powerful spirit was controlling the fire that was spewing from the mountain top, or something similar. It just wouldn't have been considered atheism. First theism had to come around before they needed a term to refer to people who didn't believe in what the theists believed in.
The non belief in deities likely came first, but the I expect the term for it came afterwards.
