Atheist
Morrish Bible Dictionary
The Greek is ἄθεος, lit. 'without God,' and so translated in Ephesians 2:12 . It is used as a description of Gentiles as such by nature, and true of all the heathen world in their ignorance of God: not, as the term is now used, namely, one who wilfully refuses to acknowledge God's existence.
