Or at least how do I get them to stop commenting on my beliefs (or more appropriately my lack of beliefs)?
I doubt you'll ever get them to stop commenting on your lack of belief in their religion - I've been an atheist for 17 years and my mother still comments on it.
Just specify that it's not just their god you don't believe in, but all the other gods they don't believe in too. Also say that if they bring it up you have the right to reply, not doing so is what sheep do and you're not a sheep.
Welcome, btw.
