I rarely encounter people - friends or acquaintances - who assume I am a Christian. Strangers do on occasion, but I don't have deeply philosophical conversations with them about any topic, let alone spirituality.
On the rare occasions when someone who does know me isn't content to take me literally at I believe we have different spiritual viewpoints, and let it go at that, I tell them to come back to have the deeper conversation with me after they have completed a course on comparative religions that is thorough enough to encompass religions and spiritual traditions pre-dating Christanity.

FWIW...
