I think that depends upon the intention of the person saying it. Does the person saying it know the person they are talking to is an Atheist? Is the person saying it trying to give comfort or well-wishes to the Atheist? In such cases, it is best to thank them. If the person is saying it out of deliberate disrespect and/or disregard for the Atheist's beliefs, you might try anything from, "Toothfairy bless you," to, "I don't believe in God," to, "Hail Satan!"
Your choice.

Is an agenda behind Atheism not so much freedom from religion but freedom from moral/ethical restraints if not one and the same?

or "Did you know that 'bless' means 'to sprinkle with blood'?"
by purplecows on May 28th, 2008
That works.
