In reading about BGP route aggregation I've come across the term atomic
aggregate attribute more than once and don't seem to grasp the meaning. Below
is the context in which it is used. Is this just a attribute within the
routing update to show, that at some point, the routes within this update were
summarized and information was lost? Is there any more dept to this
attribute?

"The aggregate route will be advertised as coming from your autonomous system
and has the atomic aggregate attribute set to show that information might be
missing. (By default, atomic aggregate is set unless you use the as-set
keyword in the aggregate-address router configuration command.) "
