:it's a simple term that can become a container referring generically to those who don't believe as you do.

Not for me it isn't. An atheist is simply someone who believes that there is no God. Most people I meet are not atheists. Some of my friends are Christians some are New agers and some are agnostic. Some people I know don't think about God at all or they have some idea that there might be a God but have not real desire to go searching for him. I wouldn't define someone who hasn't questioned God an atheist. To be an atheist you have to at least ask "Is there a God?" and come to the conclusion that "no there is not and believe it"
