Like others, I don't necessarily feel obliged to say anything in response to a sneeze, any more than I do to any other bodily expulsion. If I do say anything, it's most likely going to be dependent on context - such as "Can you please not sneeze on me" or "I don't think I want that pizza now, thanks".
In any case, responding with a "bless you" is merely a linguistic hangover and carries just about as much meaning as saying "good morning":

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
