Ask him if his mother loves him. If he says "yes" tell him thats impossible.

This is my first answer so sorry if it doesn't sound professional.
When you see him again ask him if he said that he did not believe in god just to get back on the topic. Then ask him what he does believe in. If he believes in evolution then ask him what he thinks caused the big bang, which he will not know. Hint to him that maybe it was gods voice.
If he does not believe in anything then point out what god has done in your life. You should also try to invite him to church if you can and if he says he doesn't want to then dare him to come and try hanging out with you there and learning a little about what you believe. Tell him that he should at least give it a month and also notify your pastor or who ever is the leader of your church that you have a new member and ask if he could give a specific sermon directed at him.
Hope this helped.

It's not what you say, it's what you do. Remember this- Be careful how you live your life and treat others, you might be the only Bible some people read.
The one thing you do NOT want to do is try to preach and force religion down his throat. Just let him learn from your good actions and maybe in time he'll see what sets you apart from other people, and what it is that makes you a nice, happy individual.
Tip: I've known a couple people who didn't believe and I asked if they wanted to watch "The Passion of the Christ" with me, hoping that would plant a seed. Maybe you can work something out by seeing the movie?
God Bless!

To get him to understand, you also have to understand that while you (and I) believe in God, it doesn't mean that everyone else has to. People are entitled to their own beliefs, religion, etc. If he's not open to God, you can spread the word a little but if you pursue it too much, he'll not only start disliking you but start viewing your pushing it down his throat as a thing all believers do and want nothing to do with it.

Everything in the universe shows that there is someone who is in charge, surely you are not going to think it's pure coincidence that the sun, moon, earth and stars, for example, just follow their rotation, etc, without someone put them there to do that. He needs to understand and appreciate it himself though. Just give him a hint and say to read John 3:16. amd have him punder on it for a while, then talk to him more if he's still interested. You can also show him several Scriputres in the Romans. God bless you for trying to save his soul.

Here's all you need to say:
The eyeball and the creation of the universe(do you know, there had to be an EXACT amount of helium for the planets to be created and for human life to survive) explains that a grand designer HAS to exist.
Also, if he tries to pull the "evolution" bull ****, just say: "who said evolution ISN'T a tool of god??"
ALSO, ask him this: "where did the first, single celled organism get it's blueprint from to reproduce?"

You can show him the way-bring him to your place of worship, tell him the reasons why you believe in God, but in the end if he chooses to not believe and you do all you can to bring him to God, then there's nothing you can do.

Ask him what created the universe. And if God exists, then why couldn't God do what's impossible to us.

I don't believe it is your job to teach him about god, he will believe if and when he wants to believe. Forcing him to believe something that he can't see or feel is almost impossible, especially if they don't want or care to believe.

Why dont you just leave him alone? He doesnt have to believe in God just because you feel as though its important. Mind your own business, keep God in your heart, and leave him alone.
