No, they were not called "atheists" because the word and concept did not exist at that time.

I found this reference, it's recorded on Wikipedia too. I see it's been noted above also.

Quote:Christians were routinely punished by the Romans who saw their religion as impious and backward. Beginning with Jesus, Christians were rounded up and executed for their religion over the course of three centuries. The Romans characterized them as “impious atheists” because they did not believe in many gods.
