What the fuck? Urgh.
It's all probably been said already, but...
The world is populated mostly by adults who believe in fairy tales about gods, and take it seriously enough to have it affect their decisions, including how they treat people who don't share their delusions. Atheists, in many countries, are an oppressed minority. Their life is sometimes even in danger.
None of this applies (at least on the same scale) to those other beliefs which are just as stupid. So while sceptics share disbelief in all those dumb concepts too, no one is using fairy-based dogma to fuck up their lives. Identifying also as a sceptic is usually enough to make this disbelief of baseless concepts clear.
So we support each other, support those who identity as atheist, so that they can be themselves here at least. For me, my life isn't affected day to day by being an atheist. I'm lucky in that regard. But I'm here for those less fortunate, as well as to talk to non-deluded people.
