Here is an example, last night he asked me what I was reading, I told him I was reading about karma and and energy, and how science might apply, that's all I said. He responded by first laughing, then saying karma isn't real, a bit of smirking and eye rolling, and then more coments about why it's silly and made up.

I don't want to argue it, so I just dropped the topic. I wasn't asking his opinion, or asking him to validate mine. I only answered his question about what I was reading.
