Why do people spell Atheist. . . . . .
Athiest ?

Probably because "iest" is a far more common set of letters in general...

They are spelling it phonetically, meaning they are spelling it how it sounds.
I admit I used to write it like that before computers had the spell-check installed.

I before E accept after C was implanted into their brains. Also a lack of using spell check.

Superlative of the adjective athi, meaning "unburdened by doctrine".
Athi, athier, athiest.
