Atheists are as old as time and predate religion as we know it
In order to have atheism, the concept of theos must first exist. You can't have an ism if no one knows what the thing is that its suffixed to. So there's no atheism before religion or at least one theos.
Just like Tinklipism. What is that? Who knows? No one's invented the idea of a Tinklip yet, whatever that may be. Definitely no Atinklipism yet either.
That's just how isms be.
You’re thinking “antitheism”?
It's mostly semantic but the usage of atheism as the absence of theism is quite new and not really used in philosophy in that manner. In the end it shouldn't really matter. It mostly matters for the religious that want to define you themselves instead of listening.
It matters a lot to atheists that don't want people to be confused. It's also a bit hard to be taken seriously when a small portion of your mob doesn't even understand what atheism is and then tries to tackle the bigger concept of deities with someone. Breeds the idea that atheists are idiots and don't understand what they're talking about.
