First, I do not try to convince people who have already made up their mind.
Second, we all believe in a lot of things we cannot "see"...
wind
breath
air
love
so one who has decided they do not wish to believe in God.. will not. say let them alone in their own thinking!

Hm. I believe in what makes sense. In many cases that means something you can see. Maybe not directly, but indirectly.
Wind is a popular example of how you can only see the effects of something. But we've actually seen air molecules, so air and wind we can technically see...
When it comes to God (or gods) I don't believe due to a combination of factors. It's not so much that I can't "see" God, though - Just like the wind, if I believed in God I can see his effects. However, everything people point to as God's work I see as... well, natural. People see a world that's complex and perfectly built up. The more I learn about the world around me though the more I realize that even things we normally don't think of as flawed are seriously flawed.
Err that goes into a whole 'nother topic. My point is that as long as the people who only believe what they see use their brain with it, they should be fine. If they're like "omg air doesn't exist I can't see it" then they are... well being kinda dumb.

Say about those that do not believe, there isn't much you can say for its in each of us to see for ourself in our hearts and soul. If they choose to believe the way they do its their choice to make. I don't try and convince anyone to believe in what I believe, I do by doing, if they ask, I just say thats my faith and leave it alone.
To me the better teacher is to do what you believe..
