I'll put in my input since I am non-denominational when it comes to religions, since I do not anotate other beliefs, but study them in practicality.
God bless you is basically a "wish you well" saying. All it implies is that one is wishing you well. Now people who are religious use that in a different meaning such as "in hopes that god watches over you and keeps you from harm" or the more spiritual sense to ward off both bad omen and ill fate. In any case, the same or similar meaning.
Such was used with the Bubonic Plague "Bless you" when one would sneeze. This is nothing more than in hopes of you remaining well and safe from potential harm.
Now some people believe in many things while others don't. Does that make it wrong for someone, anyone to say something like this to an athiest? It shouldn't be offensive. They are just expressing things as they always have.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
