Sure. Webster's Collegiate 10th edition lists "wicked, immoral" as an "archaic" meaning. But try looking up the meaning of "miscreant" for example.
 
In Webster's 1828 Dictionary (the ORIGINAL Webster's Dictionary), "wickedness" is defined as follows......

"Departure from the rules of the divine law; evil disposition or practices; immorality; crime; sin; sinfulness; corrupt manners Wickedness generally signifies evil practices. But wickedness expresses also the corrupt dispositions of the heart."


So, yes....Atheism, by definition, is wickedness; but, a Christian, who does not walk in Love (Matthew 22:37-40), is also guilty of wickedness ("corrupt dispositions of the heart").
