Also it depends if these are family, close friends, or whatever. There are lots of people who might say "have a blessed day" without intending to discuss what you believe. In college, I remember debating religion with close friends a few times, but our differences didn't harm our friendships. (I was a Christian at the time. Maybe it would have seemed different if I was an atheist.) Family members are more likely to worry and pray as opposed to debate (in my experience).
