When you've been indoctrinated with a religion from birth it's extremely difficult to see beyond the belief. Those that accept these beliefs later in life are usually trying to find relief from something. To try and change this is almost like arguing with a schizophrenic. I know because a friend of mine battled the illness and became a religious zealot in the process. Sometimes it is indeed brought on by depression, some other disorder, a tragedy in one's life. The argument will go on forever as long as there are people who believe in religions. A god is in one's mind and you can't prove it wrong. Of course this is just my opinion based on my experiences.
