The least happy people I know are those who spend much of their time obsessing about the religious beliefs of others. Doubly so for those who lack any of those beliefs themselves. Usually they end up lying to themselves about not having beliefs based on faith and end up absolutely miserable trying to defend their ever shifting secular faith based beliefs. The happiest, in my personal experience, are those who are secure in their faith and have no need for external validation of their faith from others. Ultimately you only control yourself. Wasting energy on how stupid others are in your perception due to their faith is a road to personal unhappiness. So to answer your purported question, simply don't value how others perceive your religious faith. Their emotional state is their own responsibility. Don't let it become yours.
