I don't like the term 'unbeliever' - it implies that such people don't
believe in *anything*, rather than not just in some supernatural being
whose existence is unproven (and probably unprovable).

I believe in science & technology, not religious dogma.

I agree, "atheist" would have been better. But it's got connotations akin to
eating your own offspring in the US. As Julia Sweeney's mother said to
her... "Ok, don't believe in god, but an ATHEIST!!!"
