You can use chmod +X, it will work if your files are already not
executable. +X will keep the executable bit for the ones that already
executable (directories) but not set it for who doesn't have it.
You can use something like: chmod -R a+rX,u+w,go-w .
Of course, if your files have the executable bit set and you want to
remove it, it won't work for you, in that case you should use the find
| xargs chmod solution that was posted already.
