While the word "theist" has very different meanings, "atheist" can't be any simpler.
An atheist can be a non-believer of any gods. Or a believer in the statement that there is no god. Since the word "god" is mistaken as "Bible's boss". Notice the Bible did not patent the word "god" it's a general concept of all religions.
An atheist can be a Deist(god may have caused the universe, but not here anymore), an agnostic (one that does not belive but does not deny). Either way, an atheist is a simple non-believer.
CLARIFICATION: No need to assume an atheist does or doesn't believe in something, such as morality or evolution or devil. It's not a direct connection anyhow.
