Why do believers feel threatened by non believers?

This is not a discussion on religion vs atheism or a hate post. I don't have hate for them but they're actually taught that non religious people are just bad. They just treat us same or even worse than they do for murderers and rapists. I am struggling so bad because I am surrounded by Christians and it's hard to make them understand just because I lack faith doesn't mean I am a bad person.

They sometimes believe they'll fail with God, if they don't save you.
My son is an atheist, he's a grown person able to make up his own mind.
Don't love him any less,and don't think any less of him, and don't try to push my beliefs down his throat
He has a couple Christian friends.

@SW-User No it is ok. I thought with an Atheist son you might be able to answer. I don't quite understand the concept of how heaven will work for people who have family who won't be going to heaven. The way I understood it there was no sadness in heaven, but how could you be happy knowing someone you loved was not there. It's probably something explained in the bible, and probably time I went to bed, have a great day/night
