It's not crazy, realists just don't like seeing people in a state of what seems like delusion. Don't stereotype all atheists as realists though, many many atheists have delusional ideas just as much as religious people.
If God doesn't exist, then whatever you want to do is your own choice. If spreading atheism is what one wants to do, then that's their choice.
Now, where do you get this idea that belief in god doesn't hurt anyone, anything, or isn't detrimental to health?
The idea of God does do harm. If you deny that you're delusional. Some people think God's on their side, thus causing them to do horrible things and feel good about themselves. I'm not saying all religious people are like this, but some are, and that's the problem, it DOES do harm.
Also, what kind of health? Mental health? Let's not even go there...
Physical health? Haven't you heard of all the cases of people who are harmed by religious beliefs that are centered around god? Go do a google search. Better yet, look here: http://whatstheharm.net/
