There may very well be repercussions. I personally would modify the response "none right now" to something like "I just love the music" and let the person you are responding to puzzle that out.

That said, the more people around us learn that their friends and neighbors also think that religion is ridiculous bullshit (with good music!) the sooner the veil of ignorance will lift. So I also view it as my moral responsibility to not hide my non-belief.

The religious assume everyone is a believer, thus the president is ignorant that he is asking people who may not share his belief in prayer to do something that they cannot do. But I would leave that alone.
