If someone chooses to be an atheist it is their business. Ive known atheists that I got along with just fine. God gave us free will to choose.

How can a Christian be indifferent to atheism ? If you are a believer you cannot turn a blind eye to the lost.

Freedom of religion comes to mind first, believe what you want, but as a christian, wouldn't it be sad to be indifferent, everyone matters.

Not sure what you mean by "indifference". I am a Christian I do not hate Atheist. I probably lean on the side of liking them. I like most people. I think Atheist are rational and someitmes open-minded people. I think they challegene shallow Christianity and because of their unbelief have forced Christians to think critically about their faith and have enabled Christians to move to a deeper and more solid conviction of their faith.
Atheist matter to God. Atheist matter to me.

So which definition would you prefer us Christians to use?
indifferent:
1. without interest or concern; not caring; apathetic.
2. having no bias, prejudice, or preference; impartial; disinterested.
3. neither good nor bad in character or quality; average; routine.
4. not particularly good, important, etc.; unremarkable; unnotable.
5. of only moderate amount, extent, etc.
6. not making a difference, or mattering, one way or the other.
7. immaterial or unimportant.
8. not essential or obligatory, as an observance.
9. making no difference or distinction, as between persons or things.
–noun
11. an ethically or morally indifferent act.
12. a person who is indifferent, esp. in matters of religion or politics.
It seems as though you want us to stop caring.

I am a Christian.
I think I´m not indifferent to anybody.
Why should I?
How could I?
Jesus loves atheists as much as He loves me, you, all human beings.
So, I love atheists.
But your question was about atheism.
I know that sooner or later atheism will disappear.
Why? Because everybody will meet Jesus and will know that God exists and loves us.

Indifference is the absence of Love ... Love is God ... so, indifference would lead them away from God ... which is the absence of God ... and the absence of God is Hell.
"Love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous. Love is never boastful or conceited. It is never rude or selfish. It does not take offense and is not resentful. Love takes no pleasure in other peoples sins, but delights in the truth. It is always ready to excuse, to trust, to hope, and to endure whatever comes."
Plus the first 4 Ten Commandments say to Love God ... and when Jesus replaced the 10 Commandments with the Great Comandments ... God is still first with "Love God above all & love each other as I love you"

I'm not sure what you mean by that. If someone says they are an atheist, that means to me they don't believe in God. I think that is a sad thing. So I would say, no, I guess my reaction isn't indifference.

I wish they were indifferent to Christians instead of screaming over Christmas decorations because 'it's offensive' or so I was told by a lady in my art class, since her job is to put up decorations.

My belief is that you don't choose God,rather he chooses you and draws you in. An atheist is one who God has not chosen at this time. But I don't believe that the atheist is going to hell and burn forever. God loves those who are atheist too (whether they like it or not.) The time will come when they have a major attitude adjustment of the good kind. Until then,they can just go running along being good little atheists. They don't offend me.
Jesus died for the sins of the WORLD; not just us churchy people.

Depends what you mean by indifferent. I might meet an atheist, but I won't jump on them pushing my beliefs on them, unless, of course, they want to debate.
