I don’t talk about religion with my co-workers and if they do I just respond with platitudes. Don’t engage with them. Look for commonalities, not differences, that will help your situation.

If anyone brings it up, just say "Religion is not an appropriate topic for a place of business. Thank you."

I work in a law firm in the south with a LOT of people. Religion doesn't come up in conversations. Not even when a group of us goes out to lunch.

It's not a fair fight..20 Christians against 1 Athiest.

I live and work on a christian/Republican environment. I told myself that I won't discuss religion, politics and sports.
It is hard sometimes, especially when they pray before a group meal or praise supernatural for ordinary things.
