Perhaps reversing this question might add a bit of perspective here?
How would someone who is a theist tell people that they are a theist without annoy the hell out of them and putting them off?
Maybe just mentioning it only when it is relevant to the conversation, so to say, as simply a matter of fact without making a debate of the issue is the best method.
I find that people simply don't really care to hear too much expansion upon other peoples personal perspectives unless it is really the topic at hand. Such an "aggressive" pushing the conversation to argue a point comes across much as endless baby pictures do when one meets a person they have not seen in a long time. It's a question of not being annoying.

Athesim is not a system of belief, but rather a single answer to a single question. It is the designation applied by theists to those who do not share their assumption that a god/deity exists. - MoS
I am not one to attribute godlike qualities to things that I am unable to understand. I may never be in the position to understand certain things, but I am not about to create an anthropomorphic deity out of my short-commings. I wish not to errect a monument to my own personal ignorace and demand that others worship this proxy of ego. - MoS
