Probably because they've always had to deal with religions as defined by the nutters of the time. That and how atheism is the loosest of confederations. Any given thing a specific atheist might do or say lacks the weight of a community of the like minded. Cat herding.
I think it's more accurate to say that the religious have decided to reduce religion so much that any given atheist is doing it, because being no worse than the next guy (who they think is worse) is all they can hope to establish for themselves anymore. It's a shame, really, that a bunch of abrahamic nuts continue to be intent on poisoning the religious well - but you'd hardly fault a person for not wanting a drink.
