It's the word for someone who doesn't believe in a god. Whether or not you label yourself as such, if you do not believe in a god then you are an atheist. If you are a two-dimensional, four-sided geometric shape, with all sides equal, opposite sides parallel, and all converging into four right angles, then you are a square, regardless of the fact that you don't like being called a square.
Atheism isn't a religion, or a belief system, or a political party, or a clubhouse. It is merely the lack of a belief in a deity.
