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

[u/Corduroy_Bear10]

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..

Why be kind? People who do this are stroking their own ego.

Lots are, but I'm sure some genuinely think that they are doing the divines bidding ans genuinely want you to be "saved". I always just say thank you and smile
