Ah! Seinfeld episode: someone sneezes and Jerry Seinfeld responds; " you're soooooooooo good looking."
I admit you may need to find the person attractive first or could get messier than not covering your mouth or having a Kleenex handy.

I love Dane Cook! He's hilarious. I do the same as he does... I say "Bless you."

Err nothing?
I'm a toothfairy atheist but I don't believe that nothing happens in the afterlife. It's quite possible nothing happens it also quite likely that ANYTHING could happen. We simply don't know.

I am an atheist, my husband not.
In our home we just say "Bless you", old superstition but, in my opinion, good manners.
And according to Merriam Webster, the word bless does not always have anything to do with god and the divine.

I say blessyou as it's traditional. Just like saying "Oh my god" it has nothing to do with being religious, just a speaker of English.

IMHO, it's polite for the sneezee to say 'excuse me' rather than expecting others to thank them for sneezing.

I say 'bless you' to everyone. It doesn't have anything to do with a Deity or religion to hope that someone is blessed.

Same as anyone. "God bless you" is just a generic phrase. Like how "goodbye" is short for "God be with ye." Their original meanings are largely forgotton anyway.
