I'm not so sure. I can't remember ever hearing it used outside the allusion of some kind of atheist ideology.

Another term I like to scoff at is "evangelical atheist."

While it's true that evangelical can simply mean "zealous in advocating something," by that definition we're all evangelicals. But considering the way it's used and the strong association it has with the Christian church, I'm not sure it's ever been applied to anything outside of some insinuation that atheism is somehow comparable to a religion.
