If you are religious, and believe at death that humanity is going to be sorted between those going to your brand of Heaven, and the rest get eternal punishment, it would be unconscionable not to spend life on earth saving as many people as you could. Atheists, however, have no similar burden, and this explains the difference in how much propaganda we see.
To loosely quote Penn Jillette, if I know you are standing in front of a truck (which, from a religious perspective, all atheists/wrongtheists are) that is going to kill you, I'm going to try my best to convince you to get out of the road, and at some point I'm just going to tackle you.
However, if you are standing in front of me nervously saying 'I have to be careful to stay out of the way of the invisible trucks' I'm going to pity you and give you wide berth, but not waste too much effort convincing you invisible trucks don't exist.
