can quite sensibly be used by atheists since it means "assuming powers which should only belong to (hypothetical) gods"
Sorry, but I refuse to call atheist to anyone who believes that an arbitrary, human-made list of values can be "godlike" in any meaningful sense. If anything, should that person use that list of values to base their political or scientific arguments, I would call them theocrats.
