I have a standing rule with religious people: you don't preach to me and I won't mock your religion. Usually, it works out pretty well. I mean, I spent Thanksgiving with my in-laws who are religious fundamentalists, and since they didn't preach to me at all, there wasn't any conflict; and that's saying something, because Mormonism is REALLY easy to make fun of.
But once in a while, people feel the need to tell me about Jesus, at which point, deal's off and I get to tell them how full of shit their holy book really is. Most of them haven't even read the not-so-nice verses in the Bible like 2Kings 2:23-24 (kids make fun of a bald guy and god rips them apart with bears).
And I think that's only fair. I mean, Christians haven't exactly been friendly towards atheists, have they? They mock me, I'm going to mock them.
