In other words, what philosophies of Jesus's should an atheist respect?
Anything that references God, the Father, the Kingdom, the apocalypse etc is out.
Anything from the old testament - Golden Rule/Love thy Neighbor - is out.
Any parable that is an allegory for the Kingdom or the apocalypse is out unless it can stand on it's own as a brilliant philosophy.
I think that the philosophies of Jesus are quite useless when viewed through an atheist lens. Sure, there are a couple of good sayings - but honestly what's the big deal?
Remember, this question is about the philosophies of the natural Jesus, not the Christ.
