One can divert the topic to another which neither confirms, denies, or acquiesces. If they press, you tell them that whether you agree or not, you never talk politics or religion on the job because they are not topics to be chatted about lightly, and right now your concentration is necessarily elsewhere.
People do not need to misrepresent or be false to themselves for the sake of others, there are almost always ways to steer conversation away... and if they really press, perhaps they need a dose of reality that you can't corner someone about their beliefs.
