Because the Atlas Robots were attacking innocent civilians instead of protecting them like they were supposed to. The White Fang you expect to attack, same as the Grimm. But Atlas was there to protect them and instead 'betrayed' them. To the common person who has no clue about the world wide power struggle, Atlas pretty much just shot them in the back. A few people, quite literally.
