Best Answer

Because they're uneducated in Atheism.

Also, people who are are religious have difficulty comprehending how a person can live without some sort of belief in the supernatural. They assume that everyone must "believe in" something. Of course they also cannot grasp that religious belief is the acceptance of certain things to be true in the absence of proof and many people simply don't spend time in that pursuit.

Atheism is simply the absence of belief in gods.

Atheism is not a religion. It is a lack of one. And, to my knowledge, there are countries with no official religion, but not countries with atheism as their standard 'religion' or lack thereof.
