I don't think being atheist magically makes someone be more accepting and tolerant of others. I think this really depends on the person. There are plenty of atheists who can't stand opinions and beliefs different than their own.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
