I thought they just called them heretics, but my history of the rivalry between the Catholics and Huguenots is a bit rusty these days.

The word "atheist" originated around 1565-1575. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/atheist

In 1572 the French Catholics massacred a bunch of French Protestants in what's known as the The St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Barthol...y_massacre
They had been fighting over religion since 1562 and it would continue until 1598. Between 2-4 million were killed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Wars_of_Religion

"Atheist" was probably the nicest term they used for each other.
