You're probably right. People generally can't be talked into abandoning their religion. Most do it on their own after really studying what the religion is about.
At least you admit that it is religion. It has to do with worldview, too. I used to think think pain and suffering was the only way to convince an atheist that God exists.
This was because one atheist in the SF Bay Area said that even if God rearranged the stars to spell out, "I am here," then it would not be enough. This is because the atheists in the other hemisphere would not be able to see it. Furthermore, he said all atheists in the past and future must be convinced that God exists. I thought this was
the greatest thing an atheist ever said.
Thus, I thought pain and suffering in the afterlife was the only way to convince them. However, I learned last year that Revelation in the Bible already discussed this under "all eyes will see." It is where the dead will rise again and be reunited with their physical bodies. Don't ask me how as prophecy is written as allegory and metaphor. But everyone who ever existed are reunited with their physical bodies as all the dead rise. Then all eyes will experience the end of the world and see Jesus' second coming. It means it was forecast that everything and everyone would know the truth at the end. All of the arguments would be settled on Earth. If I was an atheist and heard that, then that would convince me that I was wrong.
Besides, none of the other things evolution talks about like bipedal apes has come true. We do not see this. It's weird they say we believe in fairy tales, but it's the atheists who do that and have been fooled by the lies. It's my theory that the more educated atheists are, then it's more difficult to convince them otherwise since they've come up with sophisticated ways to continue the lies they believe.
