Well, may be because there are people out there who do stuff like flying planes into buildings, suicide bombing, holy wars, subjugating women, dressing them up in oversized ninja-suits, honor killings, persecuting homosexuals, riots, pogroms, genital mutilations, imposition of divine stone-age laws, blasphemy laws, and few other such harmless activities with the conviction that they are carrying out their Lord's wishes.

Hmm.. may be.

But, the people I know (Who are atheists) like to brag that they are atheists. Therefore they start their non-existence song yatra tatra sarvatra. This is my experience with most of the atheists.

I hope people realize being an atheist does not make you a Non-Hindu. There are both astik and nastik Vedanta philosophies. And just because you subscribe to the nastik philosophy does not mean you completely disregard mythos.

I personally follow Advaita Vedanta. I'm a non theist believer. But I've always been fascinated with theology and all kinds of myth. I think they have great allegorical meanings, lessons and intriguing philosophies. So I can see why Kamal Haasan can be atheist but still have a lot of works revolve around religion.
