I am not an atheist. However, I think the likes of
Kevin, I suppose, could get by by saying "Kushalkai
tujea sovem assum" (Happiness be with you) or
something similar.
As to the rest of us, the stock-standard greeting of
"Dev borem korum" will suffice (Kevin can replace Dev
with his own "Force" or self when receiving the
greeting as in "May you do good to yourself" ;-)) - no
offence meant).
Cheers,
Gabriel.
