How do you deal with living/working in a place with mostly religious people? [self]

I live in Tennessee and just started working at a new office. I noticed right off the bat that they had some religious paintings, just normal scenery paintings with bible verses written under them. So that kind of surprised me. Then I started meeting people and most of their desks are personalized and almost all of them have more religious bible verses and such on their desks. Also, it's an office full of mostly women so it's like really religious women saying things like, "Well there wasn't any room at the inn for baby jesus but look how that turned out."

I doubt I'll ever come out as atheist to these people but all this stuff just makes me roll my eyes and yawn. So how do you guys deal with this kind of thing on a daily basis? Just ignore it? I feel like at one point or another I'm going to have to agree about something religious with these people at some point and it makes me uncomfortable, but it really doesn't seem like I can do anything about it.
