Why do you think atheists feel judged by Christians?
Atheism is a non-prophet organisation. - A dusty old book that I found that must be completely true because someone wrote it down.
Superiority complex
Probably because they profess judgement by proxy (but we never get to see the proxy, leaving them the only one holding the floater).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Well Christians are judgemental and therefore feel judged by atheists too, but I could care less what any Christian would think about my non-belief. We, Atheists have all the evidence and common sense rationale on our side, so it is pretty easy to defend any criticism. With more info being available, more people are abandoning the Christian faith anyway...finally. It is still sad to see people stubbornly clinging to such a shallow and twisted belief system as Christianity though, especially when better alternatives for religious feeling are becoming more readily available.

In their defense, I actually am judging them. But at least I'm honest about it. I don't invoke a magical beasty to do my judging for me.

The ones in my family just seem sad and worried for me. If they feel superior I don't pick up on it. I think I make them a little uncomfortable. My niece asked me once why I'm so much happier than her father, my brother. But I'm sure in her mind it was in spite of my non-belief, not because of it.
I've never tried to justify my beliefs to them nor have they asked me too. I suspect they are afraid that whatever I say might shake their belief more than it will mine. I don't hate fundy Christians. I feel sorry for them. I don't suppose their lives are very satisfying, but I know it is possible to be a theist and have a healthy regard for themselves, others and this life. Some don't feel certain of an after life and don't care. They don't have to be at odds with science. Some ready the bible for its wisdom stories and don't care if every bit is inspired or true. I think contemplation of a God as a kind of personification of what is best, unshackled by a literal bible, could actually be enriching and uplifting. It isn't for me but it seems to be possible to be a very interesting and worthy person while being this kind of theist.

Self imposed guilt. Sometimes justified and sometimes not.
Because they are self-righteous cunts who think believing in fairy tales gives them some higher moral ground.
Can't really say I would draw the line just at xtians.
I will say that humans are a judgemental species and that we need this faculty to make a million and one "judgements" every day of our lives. What I do object to is that xtians will complain about being judged by atheists and try to transpose the blame/ guilt/ shame onto an atheist as a matter of course. Again a typical human attribute. Just human nature I am guessing my 2c "The Universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest." G'Kar-B5
