Well, when someone has a bug up their ass about something like that, it's kind of hard to keep cool about it. Some people look at the bible as a refrence to all the answers of life, and some look at it as a piece of literature, how could two tiny viewpoints have such a massive affect? And people are afraid of Christinas, terrified of Catholics. When you dig right to the core, is it really right for these people to say, "Here's my belief, and whenever you're around me you have to respect it in it's entirety."
Now, of course you can always respect it in the snes that you're not going to try to influence them into something else or convince them that they're religion is the wrong one (in which sense Catholics are a little less respectful), but what if their idea of respect is to say "God bless you," as you brought up, when you don't believe in God? What if they tell you to help them debate someone about how Christ is the real savior or something when you don't believe in it yourself? When is it appropriate to say to someone of the faith, "Back off, a little."
