Your preferences are none of their business. Curious as to how this even came up in a professional setting, really. I personally would leave it alone if you enjoy the job overall. If you do speak up, there's no need to involve religion at all, just something simple like, "I overhear you saying these hurtful comments and while we may not carry the same views, I just ask that you keep things professional because well, we're in a work setting after all." Nonetheless, I'm sorry you're having to face this childlike behavior at work. No fun.
It was just a casual conversation that it came up as I mentioned I was going on a date with a girl and they started going off on me about god not approving etc!! I just replied saying well luckily I’m not religious so I’m all good :D We laughed it off and it was fine , not awkward, but it did rub me the wrong way for sure

That sounds really tough. I’d focus on setting clear boundaries and calmly explaining that you respect their beliefs, but you also expect the same respect in return for yours. You can stand up for yourself without being rude to anyone.
Absolutely going to try this approach if it ever happens again, which fingers crossed it doesn’t!

Maybe I’m petty for this, but I’d 100% go to HR with it for a paper trail. Yes there might be some upset feelings that you “told” on them, but if their discrimination starts to impact my opportunities at the company I want legal proof.
We don’t have a HR at my company :(
