Because God is either not existant or evil and everything that happens to them or around them in this world will be interpreted through that lense. Weather the rewards or punishments be temporary or eternal, weather these divine verdicts be small or great, they are either too small, too great, to temporary or too long lasting to not count as an inditement against their creator's character.
If God rewarded one and punished another with any kind of pattern that showed favor to a particular religion, that would pretty much end atheism. Anyone who said God was unfair would be a maltheist, not an atheist, and there probably wouldn't be too many of those either, given that you could avoid some of the unfairness by being a devout follower of the one true religion.
