Thankfully, they have been affected by the Enlightenment of the late 1700s, when science and democracy reigned in Western countries, and now atheists are free to proclaim themselves as such. (I believe you mean Western countries; correct me if I'm wrong.) In other nations, there are probably just as many atheists, if not more, but it's harder to be against the norms. In theocracies, atheists can literally be placed in the position of having to diee for their beliefs.

Because we have freedom to choose or free will, without being persecuted.
However, they must be forewarned, that they can enjoy their choices with their lives here on physical Earth, but they better believe one day, they will die and there will be Spiritual Divine Justice after our life's journey here on Earth. It is like practically earning a degree in college or university. There is a purpose why we have life and why we are here. Have you ever done somethying without a purpose or a plan?. Surely God is not stupid or dumb for giving you life and bring you out here for no specific purpose at all.

I don't think you have a Christian country other than maybe the Vatican. People are too smart for some of the ridiculous stuff stated in Christianity, sorry to say.

Christians countries allow people freedom of thought, freedom of ideas, and freedom of speech. I imagine you come from a Muslim country where you have no freedom.
And just because a person is an atheist does not make him or her immoral!

It may be because so many Christianss are tyrannical and generally obnoxious, so they drive intelligent people away from churches. My older sister can do that quite well.

Why shouldn't they? Are you referring to Christian theocracies that might make atheism illegal? Most Christian countries are free countries. At time of writing, at any rate.

I don't understand your question. There is no such thing as a "Christian" country. All nations are made up of individuals, and individuals have varying beliefs.

That question doesn't make sense nor is it asked or phrased in a serious matter. Maybe you should rephrase it.
