Well I like wild type. But I've used it to talk about flies for a while. (But I find the idea of single gene being responsible for such vartiy of traits unlikely. I mean even if its just developmental on switch for other genes, where did the other genes come form?)
On the other hand I really don't think Atheist belongs on the list. However I might use the word differently than you. I use it to mean, someone who actively disbelieves in the supernatural, which isn't default state, because you have to know about the supernatural to disbelieve in it.
