Well, GLaDOS, how do you think he'll respond? We don't really know your dad---is he very religious, or is it just him saying "Have a good Friday?" Is he proselytizing or is he just saying happy Friday, you know?
Is it the start of a conversation about other things? Or is it just a standalone thing every week where you don't respond?
I used to have something like this. My parents/sister loved to remind me that they are praying for me. I asked them to stop saying that, and they responded in such a way that I felt petty for even asking. I left it alone, but it still bothered me. Finally what got them to stop (for the most part) was just sticking on my side of the street. "When you do this action, this is how it makes me feel. If you'd like to continue making me feel this way, that's up to you. I'd appreciate it if you'd stop." I left it in their hands, and it curtailed.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
