The moment that you introduce them...you're going to have to establish that we aren't them, before it can become anyone else's problem. Then, ofc, there are issues with the notion that some non-conscious thing would act exactly like a conscious thing. Beyond that, it's no more or less problematic to atheists than it would be to christians or believers of any other stripe. If pzombies are just as good as humans at doing what we do, why did the great fairy make us conscious? It may even be more problematic for believers..since evolution doesn't operate on any "whys" whatsoever. Evolutionary biology isn't some force that makes rational decisions or plans things out for purpose. It throws barrels upon barrels of darts at the wall and a few stick.
Evolutionarily speaking, there's no hard set issue with something arising as a byproduct of some other thing which does have advantages. That second thing may then become a selective pressure..but even if it doesn't, so long as it's existence is entailed by the first thing, which continues to be so....we would expect that the latter would also persist as a consequence of the first.
