If, however, “atheism” is defined in terms of theism and theism is the proposition that God exists

The “a-” in “atheism” must be understood as negation instead of absence, as “not” instead of “without”.

then atheism is - NOT proposing that God exists

Problem solved, minus the idiotic wibble.

So what do you call those who propose that God does not exist? Anti-theists?

That is presuming a deity exists. The default is atheism. Atheists do not say it does not exist. If you are claiming it does then prove it. There is no evidence for its existence.
