Just look around you. God gives you 3 things to steer you towards him naturally.
1. Nature.
2. Conscience (which starts out to tell you when you have sinned, but can be molded)
3. Natural feeling that there is a higher power. (This too can be ignored, but it's there)
If they want more than that, they aren't really interested in God, they just want to be agitators.

Best way: don't try to show that god is real. Don't argue, don't preach, don't teach, don't say anything about god. If you had a real experience that god is real, you would a) know it and b) realize that preachnin concepts and beliefs won't do it. You become an example -- not by striving to be an example but by having the realization. I know you won't like my answer at all but if you can think about it, it may be helpful.

Don't try..... You don't need to validate your beliefs. Ever ask an atheist to prove God didn't exist. He can't nor can you or should you try to prove God's existence. I don't know where you live but what I do to reaffirm my beliefs when I'm down is to go out in nature and talk to my father and dear friends I've lost in my life. Nature itself will tell you a higher power exists because you can feel God in nature. Walking among the sagebrush and cedar where I live is almost as good as being in church. It's calming and I've taken friends out who realized what and how I live is with God without me having to say anything.

It is impossible to show, tell, or prove God is real. God is based on faith as is religion. The Bible, some say is proof, but the author is unknown, making it unusable. I suggest you just not try because people must have faith in God in order for them to believe He/She is real.

You can't, no more than someone can prove that God isn't real. You should be asking your self, why is it so important that you prove to people that God is real; could it be that you are at odds with your own belief?

If people choose to believe in something it's hard to change there minds-to tell them the truth that god really exsits. Like if you raise a child and keep telling him that god exsists and you always tell the child to fear gods wrath and you always tell him about god chances are the child will grow up to be a believer but if a child grows up in a family that speaks little of god and religon then he will come to doubt and say well, if my family doesn't fear or talk about god then I guess he doesn't exsist!

Why do you think it is necessary to try and convince other people of what you believe? What is your real motive in doing so- are you trying to justify your own beliefs if you get someone else to believe as you do?
Why can't the christians and muslims and others with religious beliefs keep them to themselves. It is supposed to be a personal faith in god, so just keep it that way and don't try and "save" other people. They don't want to be "saved". Let them live their life they have chosen, as you live yours.

Tell them to look about an inch above the trees on a sunny day,
when the trees are green. Focus thier eyes on one spot. After
they see the light along the tops of the trees, the rest is up to them. Seeing is not always believing.

God is based on faith. It is impossible to prove that He exists and it is impossible to prove that He doesn't exist. However, spirituality is not based on that- for many religions He is real and that's all people need to know. If one were to prove Him real then He wouldn't be so mysterious.

You do not.
it is not up to the follower of a religion to validate their beliefs and to try to make others believe that a higher power exists.
if someone already believes in a higher power then they may ask you to teach them about your religion.
educate yourself.
when someone asks you about another religion and what the similarities and differances are, either know the answer or know where to find it.
you will never make a believer out of a non-believer. but you can offer teachings to a believer that just does not know what your religion is about.
