I am a forthright atheist. I don't bring up the topic, as I hold personal beliefs to be, well, personal, but if the topic arises I will politely say, "I'm not a believer, thanks", and that's that.
The only time in my life I've lied about my atheism was to my late grandmother, who died in 1996. I let her go to her grave thinking I was still a Southern Baptist -- at least in name -- because I didn't want to give her any angst. I sure didn't like it, and decided to never misstate my views if the topic arose.
