My understanding of the term "woo" relates to dubious medical claims that at best can't be proved by double-blind randomised testing, and at worst can be proved by those same methods to be actively harmful. Bad Science possibly popularised the term (http://www.badscience.net/).
I reckon therefore that atheist blogs have taken the term for things that can't be empirically proved in religion. I could be wrong, though.
