I think you'll find that atheists are diverse on all matters but one, since the only thing all atheists have in common is that they don't believe any God or god is real. Theists are similarly diverse, since the only thing they all have in common is believing that at least one God or god is real.

Yes Atheists just like other people accept that there are differing opinions on stuff.

I can only speak for myself - no one represents anyone but themselves - if someone voices an opinion that doesn't jive with me, I either ignore it, or if its reprehensible enough, I'll voice my opinion. Otherwise I don't mind people's opinions, nor should they of mine. It's just this tolerance threshold that I allude to that makes things slightly different for me.

Yes or no.
Why the question?

I can easily accept that other people have opinions different from mine. I can also accept that these people are wrong.

Or a different nationality.
Other than that, they're okay by me.

Atheism has no dogma, doctrine, leaders, 'holy' texts, and is not even a worldview. Atheism is a single position on a single claim.
Theists claim gods exist, atheists do not believe their claim. That is the only thing that all atheists have in common.
So, there is nothing that can be said about atheism in general, besides that fact that we all unconvinced that gods exist. If you want to find out if specific atheists are accepting of opinions that don't line up with ours, you have to ask that particular atheist.
But since atheists are the minority, accept in: Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, we have no choice to accept other beliefs, at least to a certain degree. I can accept theist's right to hold their beliefs. I don't have to accept that their beliefs are: rational, justifiable, demonstrable, or even good for society.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Theists claim that god exists and is personal and intervenes in mans affairs. Deists.... claim that god exists.
