He considered Christian fundamentalists to be blockheads who couldn't be reasoned with and I agree with him that you certainly can't convert atheists by quoting the Bible at them.

True, given The Age of Reason, it doesn't make sense that Paine would paint an evangelist as the reasonable person, but I know English.  There is no interpretation of English that doesn't make the atheist the dead one, devoid of reason.  That's why a lot of people leave off that part of the quote.
