Yeah of course some PEOPLE don't deserve respect either. But that differs from person to person. Some atheists I respect, some I don't. Some theists I respect (but not because of their theism, for an unrelated reason or reasons), some I don't.
I don't respect the religious BELIEFS of ANY religious person though. Because I think they're all ridiculous by definition. And I respect the non-belief of all atheists; because I think it's cool to meet someone else who doesn't believe in bullshit
(or at least, not of the RELIGIOUS kind lol 
) - and almost a 'breath of fresh air' to discuss with people who reject that bullshit. I respect doubting bullshit. I DON'T respect believing in bullshit without any evidence (and if there was evidence, it wouldn't be bullshit).
The actual individual however - respecting them or not - differs from person to person. Whether atheist, theist or whatever.
