Yeah for some odd reason the scientific community has been very unsuccessful at convincing the public that evolution is true.
I think the reason it is so difficult to convert a theist is becuase they are usually the ones who are willing to take an objective look at the evidence for God. The rest choose atheism out of a moral preference and then claim it is due to intellectual objections.

You can tell someone a lie, but you cant force them to believe in that lie.
Why choose atheism when you have felt the very presence of God, when you have spoken to God, when you fellowship with God, when you live your life for God, when you know that everyone that believes there is no God is going to hell, When God is the author and finisher of our lives.
I dont get your question. I do however wish to share truth with you. God does exsit. Are you sure he doesnt? Are you willing to bet your life on it because that is what your doing? Do you ever wonder if your right?
See, there are two things that I look at here:
1. If you are right and there is no God, then I will be living my life for the good anyway.
2. If the Theist is right and there is a God, you as the athiest is going to regret what you are trying to teach people and you will stand before God almighty one day and inherit your reward or lack thereof. I as a Theist will stand before God and will inherit eternal life and my blessings for standing for truth.
So, which of these will a Theist choose?
I believe number 2.
I am sorry if I am strong about this, religion is a very emotional subject, I will defend my Lord, Jesus Christ at all cost. I love him. The link below is for you. Please, make sure you are right. Make sure that you know what you are saying. Have you weighed all your options. Have you searched out truth. Sometimes we are taught wrong. Just please make sure that you are right. A wise man seeks the truth. If you are right, have you studied and looked at all the facts?

You can't convert people to atheism because it is not a belief system. Individuals have to develop the understand that brings them to not have boundaries for their questions. Faith is essentially a roadblock to getting real answers. I would think most religious people wonder why God would give us a brain and then tell us to just not use it on particular things. It becomes a more interesting thought when you realize that through history, as humans push back on the unquestionable universe their lives got better. The Dark Ages were a very religious and horrible time. The Renaissance opened the door to more inquisitive thoughts, and perceptions of the world once dictated by the church were challenged. The rise of protestantism opened the door to challenge Hierarchy and kingdoms. on and on. . .

Why try to convert anyone? Spirituality is a personal decision. Each person makes up there own mind, hopefully!

Sometimes you can't, but I usually try to make them question what they believe, sometims by having them prove evolution, and being agnostic is one step closer to atheism. It is quite difficult do it in masses.

Because you have not the mind to percieve God does not mean that others do not.
How can you be certain about anything you believe?
What exactly do you think your mind to be free of?

Truth 'serum' makes people TELL the truth, it doesn't make them BELIEVE the truth. And no. There isn't one.
