Matthew 5:39
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Luke 6:29
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
Nonchristians, when is the last time a Christian has given you their coat? Not an extra coat, but the one they were currently wearing.
Atheists, when is the last time you have insulted a Christian and he/she has said hit me again I can take it?
This simply cannot and will not happen. Was Jesus high or something? This whole cheek turning thing is probably what got him killed. Shouldn't you just ignore this little passage and instead deal out counter insults to the atheists? Eye for an eye is so much more fun.
