The term "atonal" is now passe.

It is now in fashion to use the term "post-tonal" when describing music of the 20th and 21st centuries that no longer subscribes to the hierarchical tonal system that was the epitome of the Classical era.

Schoenberg himself disliked the term "atonal" because all music is comprised of "tones." He attempted (apparently to your chagrin) to equalize the importance of the tones, thus moving beyond ("post") the "tonal" system of those great composers who came before him.
