How to deal with family - "Shabbat Shalom"

How to deal with family - "Shabbat Shalom"
My family is still religious. Every Friday, my dad texts me "shabbat shalom." before the Sabbath starts. (it means "have a good Sabbath")

He knows I'm an Atheist, but I don't think he knows how uncomfortable it makes me feel when he says this to me, week after week.

I feel like i need to tell him it makes me feel uncomfortable and ask him to stop, but a small voice in my head is saying don't hurt his feelings.

I'm new here so if I've posted this in the wrong thread, just let me know.

Thanks guys
