I like to hear "ga-zoont-heit" or, from a Seinfeld fan, I'll take "You're soooo good lookin'."

This habit of saying 'bless you' when someone sneezes belongs more to a moral standard and it's usually just a formality, it has nothing to do with actual spirituality and religion.
Now that you mention it, it's really funny, since it's practiced by atheists as well. People just say it to be polite and because they're used to it, but they don't really mean or consider what they're saying. Funny indeed. It's like a senario that you kept repeating so many times that you've learn it by heart. The first time you read it, it impressed you so much that it moved you to tears, but now, there are just empty words.

Idiom:
bless you
Used to wish good health to a person who has just sneezed
ok that's the definition of bless soooooo yes you can say bless you to an athiest because you are wishing them good health and no infering any religion upon them unless you add GOD before it like some people do(which i think is rude because they might be an athiest or another religion where the word god would not be proper)

Do you mean "should you bless an atheist when she sneezes?" Up to you, makes no never mind to the atheist.

Yes, manners are the unenforced standards of conduct which show the actor to be cultured, polite, and refined!

You can't control what others say, so if I sneeze and someone else says bless you, that's not my fault. I don't say it to people when they sneeze, I say "excuse you"

Yes, I think it is more courtesy than an expression of faith.
