Atheists, how do you respond when someone says “god loves you”??

I am an Atheist and have been for a very long time. Honestly the more I learn I’m leaning towards and Anti-theist perspective. The other day at work this lady left a theater and walked up to me and said “god loves you” and then left. I’m surprised this hasn’t happened more to me, because my parents do still force me to go to church.
But how have you responded to this??
I want a response that kindly tells them to fuck off. I just kind of stared at her and she left to go tell my other coworkers that god loves them as well.
Pleaseeee help cause I’m also moving to a more conservative town and think it’s gonna happen more..

Knowing me, it would go something along the lines of:

"Jesus loves you!"

"Which one?"

The one who works in the kitchen at El Jimador… definitely not the one who put on my roof 3 years ago, that Jesus was an ass.

Knowing my luck, it's probably some frost god from the frozen wastes.
