Disrespect is disrespect. You can disagree and debate without being disrespectful to the person you are talking to.
I'm pretty sure I know plenty of "theists" who would say the same.
Really? So let's say you meet a person who believes you are the devil and you tell me that you would respect that person's beliefs? Then you are irresponsible.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
