Do they know you don't believe? Are these one-on-one conversations, or are they talking to each other while you're present?
If they know you don't believe and continue to say these things to you, it shows a fundamental lack of respect for you.
If they're talking to each other and you happen to be around, there's not a lot you can do about that. You can question the things they say if you feel like getting into that, but there's a difference between them talking about it around you and to you.
Either way, feel free to bring up how awesome science is.
Most of the time it is to me directly. Sometimes it is indirect. But they definitely know where I stand.
