Namaste! or As-salamu alaykum!

I believe the former is better. As it is an expression of mutual respect, whether or not a spirit is anything more than just the synapses in our brain firing.
The latter is a wish for peace, but it's not acknowledging anything substantial or real. I think peace is an impossible human construct that contradicts life.

@SnailTeeth thanks for the response, i've learned from a different perspective.

@SnailTeeth Wow I'm Native too I'm half Hopi and part Sioux, what tribe you're in?

@Peaceandnamaste I'm half Anishinaabe, half mutt. On paper anyway, probably more of a quarter Anishinaabe.

I'm not really a tribal or social person.
The second is better
You greet with: Salam Alaykum - peace to you
And they reply: alaykum asalam - unto you peace

The latter. The first has almost become a cliche
