The good thing about that answer is that when people ask you about your religion, 90% of the time they want an excuse to tell you why their belief (or non-belief) is the Truth. But pointing out to them that having any belief either way would make them a moron usually shuts them up before they start!

Although if you are pushed and have to give a yes or no answer, always say that you do not believe in God. This is because people who evangelise about atheism tend to go on for longer and be a lot more insistent that you agree they are correct, that these who evangelise about God (any god).
Spot on! I just had this discussion an hour ago.
I do not believe he exists, but who am I to state that as a fact?

The word believe is a key here.
