However, I'd be wary of deeming people as "not Muslims or Christians in any meaningful sense of the word". It's not our job to decide who is and isn't a 'true Christian' or 'true Muslim', as there isn't really a definite standard code that would define a 'true believer'.
Now that you mention it, I can see how an atheist telling a Muslim or a Christian that they aren't a good Muslim/Christian, is sort of ridiculous. We should leave it to them to say that to one another.
