Yeahh, the admin panel is offering me no clues as to how to do that. So am waiting for someone to direct me.

Neither do the vast majority of western people. I've never once had anyone religious treat me differently once they knew I wasn't a believer. Nor vice-versa. Of course that's a feature of the country...
