Sometimes, this is the reason:
7For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, 10and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
II Thessalonians 2:7-12

You're right; it makes no sense. God does not help those who condone a belief system that is in total opposite of his. These ones Satan has control over and yet they don't even realize this; that's why it's so easy for Satan to control them.
Ask according to God's will and your prayers shall be answered.
Requesting to win the Nascar race, or a gambling horse race are not things within God's will. These prayers will fall on deaf ears.
Jehovah takes no pleasure in the prayers of the wicked. Yes, “he that is turning his ear away from hearing the law—even his prayer is something detestable.” (Proverbs 28:9) Through the prophet Isaiah, God told His people: “When you spread out your palms, I hide my eyes from you. Even though you make many prayers, I am not listening; with bloodshed your very hands have become filled.” (Isaiah 1:15) Naturally, the prayers of the wicked are not answered even if they are addressed to God through Christ.

"Our two minds .... One is an act of the emotional
mind, the other of the rational mind. In a very real
sense we have two minds, one that thinks and one that
feels" (Daniel Goleman, Emotional Intelligence,
Bloomsbury Publishing, London, 1996, page 8). This
rational mind is also called the faculty of logic and
reason.
The Upanishads say that these two are opposite in
nature. Modern psychologist also have observed it, but
they are not very sure about it:
"At the same time, reason sometimes clearly seems to
come into conflict with some desires (even while not
being in conflict with others) giving us the impression
that reason is separate from emotion".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason
The emotional mind is connected with religion and
the rational mind is connected with atheism.

So the atheist class, demon class, they want to forget Krishna. So Krishna gives him such intelligence that he can speak of atheism so many volumes. But he is getting that intelligence from Krishna. Krishna gives everyone the chance that "Whatever you want to do, you can do. I will give you intelligence. So if you want to become atheist, then I will give you intelligence how to become first-class atheist, like Hiranyakasipu, Rävana, Kamsa(Great demons from ancient India). And if you want to become devotee, then I will give you intelligence also in that way."
God says in Bhagavad gita.
"I am seated in everyone's heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedänta, and I am the knower of the Vedas."

When one refuses to hear the words of God, or to accept His gift through His Son, Jesus Christ, then God turns you over to a reprobate mind, and lets you go your own way, even knowing that you shall perish.

It is all around.All they have to do is look.But to answer your question.If he gave them conclusive proof.That would be force.An forced love is rape.Besides that he wants us to become like him naturally,not supernaturally.
But remember he did prove himself in moses' time in Egypt and in the desert.An they didn't believe.What about Jesus?People saw him.He performed miracles.He rose from the dead.Yet he still didn't believe.

God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

It's quite obvious that God is doing everything possible to convince sane and thoughtful people that he doesn't exist.
It's clearly an intelligence test. If you die an atheist you get to be one of God's chums and have super-powers and stuff.
