How do you deal with athiests or satanists who don't want to understand you, disrespect you and your boundaries, and lack all integrity and trust worthiness?

To give OP an honest response. Your faith would perhaps say turning the other cheek and that the meek will inherit the earth. Your answer is in heaven not here. As in the answer lies when you reach the divine presence in heaven. On the other hand worldly wisdom would suggest The Golden Rule.

If you want wisdom from your own faith then forgiveness is the answer. And prayer. The whole 'what would Jesus do' thing? Ultimately though since you are endowed with free will according to Christian faith you ultimately get to decide. And you will be judged regardless of your decision and also forgiven.

The cosmopolitanism of the The Golden Rule says to do under others as you would want to have done unto you. For this reason the Golden Rule will exist long after all of us are gone also. Humans thousands of years from now will be asking the same question you just asked. Including Christians. Christianity will be around for a long long time. Have solace in that.

The historical perspective is to procreate your way to victory. We usually just hear about the wars instead though.
