Atom Text Editor

I was just curious if the Atom text editor, https://atom.io/, was free (as in freedom). I sometimes find it difficult to distinguish free and non-free software, especially in this case.

After doing some more research, I found that Atom is listed in the FSF Free Software Directory. Is this enough to be considered free?

It's not hard to tell in this case, just look at the faq:
https://atom.io/faq

It's under the MIT license, so yes, it's free software.
