There is the Athiest's golden rule:

(somewhat more respectful than the christians golden rule of do unto others as you would have them do unto you)
Personally, I try and treat people with the respect that they deserve, which of course changes with their actions.
Someone for instance who is able to enter into a theological discussion without mentioning:
the usual suspects
waaaah the athiests are bashing me
religion is the cause of all wars
the bible's totally made up
will get plenty of respect from me (ie Towney) where as I'm sure someone who tells you that it's tough luck that your family should die at the command of their god wouldn't get much respect from you.
