If you believe in "Do onto others as you would have them do onto you", why does it surprise you that people whose beliefs you disdain should disdain your beliefs as well.
If Christians (or any other group) expect to be treated with respect by others, they ought to treat others with the same respect they desire for themselves.
Atheists have deep seated beliefs about the non-existence of God, just as deep as Christians have for the existence of God. Atheists saying that God does not exist should be no more objectionable to you than your saying God does exist should be to them.
You know you won't stop talking about God in front of them. So accept their talking about no God in front of you.
