Do they freak out? I don't know any true atheists, just a handful of ill-informed misguided Jesus hating cyber pimps.

The burst into flames and let out wild shrieks as they transform into "Mukboawras roealmt' form. (that's their native/natural name)
Then they sue you.
And did you ever notice when pople say 'bless you' they usually say 'blesh you' because they're too lazy?

I know some good atheists though.. Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawkings.... Many more... I also understand how poorly educated childhood you've been through.

Thats a good question. I dont know what they would do... but I dont think they would freak out like you stated... I think that most of them might just tell you to go away or something.

If the "god bless" is coming from a stranger, I just say thanks and move on. If it comes from co-workers, I ignore them because they should know better by now than to waste such platitudes on a non-believer. They've told me I'm going to hell.

I have an atheist wife and an "apatheist" (his label) brother; they just take it as a polite gesture. In practice, it's much more reflex than preaching.

I am an athiest, but I am very sympathetic to other people's beliefs.
If they say that to me, I understand that they are just being kind. I would never use it as an opportunity to discuss my private philosophical beliefs.
However, I usually say Gesundheit... which means "to your health" in German.

a cultured and polite atheist would thank the person for wanting their god to bless him.

"Silly you. Eat some more of momma's homemade pie's and watch Fox News. Don't be on that damned int-er-net. It's for those damned lib'rals. Listen to momma now, and be a good redneck."

Generally, we pull out submachine guns and start wreaking havoc on the person who said it and all strangers around. Then we commence to feast on their still-warm corpses.
What do you think we do? We thank them and go on with our lives...

I say "thank you," to be polite, unless it is a friend of mine who says it, in which case I remind them that "gesundheit" is less ridiculous and makes a lot more sense.
