I don't agree with that in the workplace

You'll be proud of me as this one actually is British 👍🏻
I'm of brown skin but not Muslim (or any faith tbh) and often greeted by Muslims with "As-salamu alaykum".
I know what response is, but never used it as:
I don't want to butcher it and offend.
I don't know if it's ok to use it as a non Muslim?
I usually respond with hello with a slight bow of the head (I don't know why).
My question for Muslims, what is an acceptable response that will not cause offence given that I'm of no faith? I don't want my response to imply I am of any faith.
Please do not use this as an excuse to bash.
