If by "most atheists", you are referring to the entire world, the population of atheists in China dwarfs the rest of the world's atheist population. Most Chinese Atheists adhere to a combination of Confucian and Materialistic philosophical principles.

If by "most atheists", you are referring to Western Atheists, such as those in Europe and Anglo-America, these Atheists adhere to Rationalist Skepticism or Humanism as philosophical principles.

Why do Christians harass atheists?

OpinionChristians are in the business of converting the world to their way of thinking.

It should be noted that not all Christians harass atheists but many sects preach against atheism from their pulpits and often paint a picture of atheists that doesn't mirror reality.

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.
