Open inquiry, opposition to censorship and epistemological coercion, respect for rational, impartial inquiry as a primary means of mediating understanding of the world. I would "Enlightenment values" which seem to me to be ubiquitous among the more intellectually mature atheists.
One might suggest that you have things backwards. Those things you cite inform my atheism, not the other way around, and I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm not alone.
