Most of my friends believe in god but most of them never mention it to me. Once it's mentioned I'm with you.

Oh god! Oops...

Sometimes for me it's more of a letdown than a lack of respect. Especially when it's someone who appears as a good, productive, intelligent person with whom I share some interests. But, I keep on searching for intelligent life on earth.

I tell them, "Well, you probably do not want to get into that discussion with me.", and if they do, they quickly come to the realization that they should have listened.

Especially if they're people that you might otherwise like or respect.

I think that there is an inclination to reason that if the person's judgement is flawed on such an essential matter, "can we trust him/her to make other decisions wisely?"
