I guess that most religious people just don't know any uncloseted Atheists. They've been misinformed by their pastors and fox news and don't have a firm grasp on where morality comes from. Also the demonization of 'the other' is as old as civilization, probably even older.
The latter, for sure. That, and churches of all stripes have a vested interest in turning nonbelievers into enemies, since we're the only ones the church can't outright control. It's all about control, with religion.
