Your question makes assumptions and poses further questions.

Atheists are neither more nor less trustworthy than any other large group of people. Nor can they be considered a minority.

They certainly do not have a history of propagating lies and disinformation in the way some religions have.

Why do Christians and atheists always fight?

It is not true to say that Christians and atheists always fight. Most atheists have little interest in what others around them believe, and are very willing to allow others to hold different views to their own. While most Christians believe that there is a duty to convert others to believe in God, they also accept the inherent right of others to hold different views if they wish to do so. However, a small minority of Christians take the supposed duty to convert others to believe in God very seriously. They actively assert that only their worldview is correct and challenge atheists regarding their beliefs. Atheists must respond, and usually do so moderately, although a very few such as Richard Dawkins respond in kind.

Is the true purpose of atheists to annoy Christians?

No. Atheists are simply people who do not think there is sufficient evidence for the existence of a God or gods. While some atheists do bother Christians and can be a nuisance at times, most stay quite and carry on with ordinary lives. Unfortunately, as with all groups, the most vocal atheists are the most noticeable ones. So it is important to avoid making a judgement based on this small portion of a large group.

What are some good information about atheist people?

Not sure what kind of information you seeking on atheists, but, the only thing you can say about ALL atheists is they do not believe in any gods. Or devils. (common misconceptions about us include we believe in devils. We don't, to an atheist a devil is just as fantastical idea as any god.)And atheists are currently estimated to be the largest minority in the USA, at about 21% of the population, however, it is hard to know for sure.Other than that, atheists are not all the same. We are atheists for different reasons, from different backgrounds, with all kinds of personalities, from all walks of life. We do not subscribe to any 1 common belief system/doctrine, etc. We are not 'organized'.Usually, atheists tend to enjoy and appreciate science, but this is not true in all cases. Usually, atheists tend to have their own inner moral compasses to decide right from wrong. Most of us tend to be rational thinkers. We are much like anyone else in general, except we have no invisible friends.There are several atheist websites online, google "atheists" and peruse around. You will notice, we are individuals.~
