Sure, did you come here to learn from atheists how to live and accept the difference in opinions that don't sync with yours? It would surely be useful to Hindus people in let's say Sri Lanka where Buddhists and Hindus exchange atrocities.
Or Hindu battle with Muslims like in 1989 in Moradabad, India, when a pig caused hundreds of people to kill one another when the animal walked through a Muslim holy ground. Muslims, who think pigs are an embodiment of Satan, accused Hindus of driving the pig into the sacred spot. Members of both faiths went on a rampage, stabbing and clubbing. The pig riot spread to a dozen cities and left two hundred dead.
Or those conflicts in Bali between Hindus and Muslims. Like bombings in Bali in 2002 and 2005 by Muslims. Or in 2013 when Hindus wanted to organize Miss World Pageant in Bali but Muslims protested calling it ‘lascivious’ and a ‘war against Islam’, adding that ‘those who fight on the path of Allah are promised heaven’.
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"

It largely depends on the individual atheist.

Or the thing being considered as an opinion.

Atheists are very tolerant. I mean have you ever heard an atheist firing somebody because of religious beliefs? Or discriminate somebody based on belief? Or hiring somebody and making him sign a contract in which they must promise to obey some Biblical or other book's rules? No, you haven't. Religious people do that, like Ken Ham, and in Catholic schools and institutions, and in Muslim world...

You can believe whatever you like, just don't expect me to agree with you

I'm accepting of everyone unless they're a different skin colour, hair colour, gender, or eye colour than me, or they're left handed.
Or a different nationality.
Other than that, they're okay by me.

Your inclusiveness is truly breathtaking.
Personally, I think everyone should make a total commitment to accepting people, irrespective of their differences. Except for the French.

My tolerance is legendary.
But I agree on the French.

Yes, you're allowed to have a differing opinion. However, my reaction to or acceptance of that opinion will depend on the subject and the delivery.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
