How do I prevent Conda from activating the base environment by default

==
I recently installed anaconda2 on my Mac. By default Conda is configured to activate the base environment when I open a fresh terminal session.
I want access to the Conda commands (i.e. I want the path to Conda added to my $PATH which Conda does when initialised so that's fine).
But I don't ordinarily program in python, and I don't want Conda to activate an environment by default.
When first executing conda init from the prompt, Conda adds the following to my .bash_profile:
==
conda config --set auto_activate_base false
