I do not wear my atheism on my sleeve. I do not, under any circumstances, discuss religion with anyone in person with the exception of my husband and my close family. No one else is privey to my religious beliefs or lack there of. Not so with strangers I deal with in public. Is it so difficult to say to a stranger, "Have a nice day" or something that does not imply a religious salutation?

My perceived annoyance, as you say, is because these people wear their religion on their sleeve. No need for that, especially when dealing with strangers. Yes, I am intolerant. My bad.
