Why exactly?
Because atheists think - correctly - that the Bible is fiction. They are being facetious, knowing that others think it's the word of god and would never be in the fiction section of any book store or library.

Nope. As the world gains a better understanding of science and education levels improve, more and more realize there is no difference between organized religion and the fiction section of the library.
At book stores, I've found the Bible moved to the fiction section.
Hopefully they put it next to either the Percy Jackson series or Harry Potter series, fantasy and myth where it belongs.

Correct -- and as was pointed out earlier, since there is no longer daily prayer in public schools, kids are less religiously inclined.

And since they've appointed themselves the only "real" Christians (as opposed to us love one another types of Christians) is no surprise most Americans don't want any to do with that type of Christianity.
Keep in mind that there are lots of people who don't want anything to do with any type of religion, while they still have religious people as friends and family.
That was true for me pre Trump, but is not true now. I will still be polite to evangelical conservative family but try not to see them or talk to them as much as possible. Evangelical friends? Have faded away from them.
Being religious is one thing, trying to impose conservative Christofacism on others via the government is an entirely different thing.
+1 Christofacism
I had not heard this word before, but it is totally appropriate. Appreciate you sharing it!
