If naturalism is inadequate then atheism is inadequate; however, I see no good reason to assume that at all. An atheist/agnostic could be a non-naturalist, supernaturalist, or none of the above.
That's because many Christians think of the world by means of very primitive concepts. How can nuance exist in texts believed to be written as a life guide by the supremely wise Creator of the Universe? It doesn't. It means what it says and it says what it means, and you either accept it all or deny it all. This was the mindset in the churches I grew up in, and that lack of critical and careful division of terms doesn't cease when they view contrary opinions.
