That's because most people who frequent english language websites on the internet, atheist or not, live in countries where the dominant religion is Christianity. In terms of social and political activism, it makes sense to go after a target you can actually effect.
People who grew up Muslim and became atheists generally attack Islam.
(A particularly obnoxious strand of right-wing atheists single out Islam too, for obvious reasons)
But if you post a news-story about Hindus killing Muslims in India on a random message board I'm willing to bet you get a fair few 'this is why religion is stupid' comments.
