Just read the OP, so I'd like to respond to it very directly. If a Christian says, "I still love you," he/she is demonstrating concern for your feelings. Initially, many people who have lost faith feel very uncomfortable confessing that to their believing friends. They want you to know that they love you as a person regardless of what you believe. They loved you then. They love you now.
Imagine a closeted gay son confesses his homosexuality to his father. His father says to him, "It doesn't matter to me, you're still my son, and I love you." The father has professed his unconditional love for his son even if he doesn't understand or approve.
No doubt your Christian friends are disappointed by your choice. Despite that, they can still demonstrate that they care about you. What more can you ask from true friends?
