quite easily. If other people are talking about their religion, or beliefs, or saying prayers, that's the time to be silent. After all, they have probably heard all they ever WANT to hear from you on the subject of your lack of belief, so they don't want to listen to it any more.. That's what they are saying, I think.

You can probably honor their wish quite easily.
