Couldn't an athiest instead be open to, for example, a mathematical

Sure - but then they wouldn't need to identify with atheism. They
could just call themselves - wait for it - "mathematicians"
If you asked them where the universe came from or why there are moral
rules, I don't think they would answer, "Mathematics."
But if asked them if they thought the god of theism, all powerful,
beneficent, omniscience, existed they'd probably say "No" - hence
"a-theist".
