My late Catholic mother and I never agreed on much. She raised me Catholic, but I ditched that position in my 20s eventually to take the position that no type of deity/god/God/super natural existed.
But, if one were to ask me who you would want on your side, my late mother ALWAYS had my back.
We have always been a diverse and mixed species. And in the last 200 years, at least in the west, we have learned to live with our diversity.
I think the way you deal with theists is to round them up, tar and feather them, and force them to listen to ABBA 24/7. And never ask help during hurricanes.
(Note To Self, Did I think this, or type it?)
In all seriousness, I hate how our species clings to mythology, and thinks locally and tribally. But I will never hate that we as a species are also capable of great compassion despite our differences.
